TINAR Race Series and RacePenguin are proud to present The Alley Trail Classic, a new race in a familiar format coming this fall to Charles Alley Nature Park in Lancaster, Ohio. Featuring a beginner-friendly 5k and challenging, multi-loop 28k race, there is something for everyone.

This event capitalizes on the success of TINAR Race Series’ The Alley Trail Marathon (2021, 2022, and 2023) and the Pike Lake Ultramarathon (2022, 2023) which engaged runners from across the country in meaningful ways both on trail, and with our valuable brand sponsors and partners. 

For 2026, TINAR Race Series continues its tradition of working with brands directly to integrate their products, services, and mission directly into the race in a variety of ways. New for 2026, TINAR Race Series is partnering with RacePenguin to provide runners and spectators with a richer race experience, giving real-time splits, live updates, and results through the RacePenguin mobile app. Thus, we can now integrate sponsor logos, offers, and brand information directly to runners throughout the day, in addition to our normal channels of web, social, and print marketing. 

For brands that wish to attend and exhibit at the race in person, our smaller race size (100-250 runners) allows brands to have intimate, meaningful conversations with runners. We also provided free entries to brands based on the level of sponsorship. Nothing says that your brand supports trail racing like having your employees participating in the race itself!

Our sponsorship tiers are listed below. We are also open to in-kind sponsorships, and can provide a custom sponsorship proposal at a level suitable for your company upon request. Please contact the race director, Samuel, with any questions.
