Description:The Village of Shawnee, will be hosting the Buckeye Trail “Blue Blaze Festival” bringing together many in the outdoor recreational community.

On Saturday, there will be a full day of activities. Since 2015, the Buckeye Trail Association has held a trail run in the Wayne National Forest on the Buckeye Trail. The previous runs included a marathon, half marathon, 10K and 5K distances. In 2021 the planning team restructured the event to include a day hike as a way to encourage more people to get out and enjoy the trail. The event now includes the 8-mile hike, plus the 5K, 10K and Half Marathon trail runs on the Buckeye Trail, all starting and finishing on Main Street.
