The Race before The Game

🏃‍♂️ Event Overview

Go Bucks and Go Blue during this 8th annual event in downtown Sandusky. There isn’t a better way to start the morning of the Ohio State/Michigan game day than “Dotting the i” or “Blocking the M.” And you can do both in this one-of-a-kind event. There is no other city with a unique street grid like Sandusky's to complete this kind of course.

📏 Course Details

• Dot the i Course: Approximately 5 miles.
• Block the M Course: Approximately 4 miles.
• Important Note: The "Dot the i" finish line will close at 10:30 a.m. Any participants unable to finish the course within that time are recommended to complete the Big O course instead.
• NEW FOR 2024: The OH-IO Two-person relay. Split the Script Ohio course with one other person and each of you complete about 2.5 miles of the course.

The Big O, a one-mile walk option to complete just the O in Ohio.
