Join us for an escape from Shawshank State Prison on June 17, 2017 at The Ohio State Reformatory.

The 7k running race will feature five filming locations in The Shawshank Redemption. During the run you will pass The Bissman Building which served as The Portland Daily Bugle and Brewer Hotel, Carousel Antiques which was the Pawn Shop window that Red looked through at the compass that would help him find the oak tree and Brook’s Bench where Brooks sits down on the bench in Central Park to feed the birds, hoping his friend Jake (his pet crow) will show up to say hello, but he never does. The course finishes with a tour of The Ohio State Reformatory where you can see the cell blocks, the Warden's office, desk and safe, the Parole Board room, Brooks' hotel room with a carving on the ceiling that reads, "Brooks was here. So was Red" are on display. Andy Dufresne's actual escape tunnel that was used for filming is even on display!  We welcome Scott Mann who portrayed Golf Pro Glenn Quentin and Renee Blaine who portrayed Andy’s wife Linda Dufresne.  Scott and Renee will be available for autographs, photos and to answer your questions regarding the movie and their experience on Friday and Saturday.

Saturday, June 17th, 8am-1pm

The Ohio State Reformatory
