About the Event

"Does this 0.5k make me look fat? No, your face does."

Tommy Boy Fest took Sandusky by storm in 2025 and won't be back until 2030. BUT, the Fat Guy in a Little Race 0.5k is coming back during the IRONMAN 70.3 Ohio as a "Shake-out Run" for athletes, their families and anyone else that would like to join!

The Fat Guy in a Little Race 0.5k will follow the Tommy Want Wingy Throwdown sponsored by Ability Works. Registration opening soon.

Participants will receive a one-of-a-kind race medal, official race shirt (order yours a size or two smaller!) and race bib for a scenic walk/run through Sandusky.

The course will start behind a SANDUSKY CITY SCHOOLS BUS in the 100 block of Columbus Avenue and make their way to the Jackson Street Pier.

Registration is limited to 275 participants and shirt quantities are limited, so get registered now!

Race Day Registration is available as long as there are spots open from 2-2:45 p.m. on the 100 block of Columbus Avenue under the tent.

Tickets are only $31 to celebrate the 31st anniversary of the movie!

This event is sponsored by Erie Blacktop.

About Sandusky

Learn more about the host city, Sandusky.

Sandusky is a city in Ohio Erie shore west and county seat of Erie County, on Ohio's north coast along Lake Erie between Cleveland and Toledo. It is perhaps best known for Cedar Point Amusement Park, home to some of the world's tallest and fastest roller coasters. It is one of Ohio's prettiest downtowns and is very clean. Walking along the waterfront in the business district should be considered very safe compared to most cities. There is a pier for those who want to fish. They say late winter fishing is great at the pier due to the fish gathering in Sandusky Bay for spawning in the local rivers and streams. Elevation: 580ft/176.8m.
