Organiser's Description
Annual Tie Dye 50K
Day: May 18, 2024
Race Start Time: 7:30 AM
COURSE DESCRIPTION
“John Bryan is the most scenic state park in western Ohio. The 752-acre park contains a remarkable limestone gorge cut by the Little Miami River which is designated as a state and national scenic river. A portion of the gorge itself is designated as a national natural landmark.”
Tie Dye 50K IS CUPLESS! This means there will not be cups pre-set at any aid stations.
An ORRRC collapsible, reusable cup is available to be added to your registration for $3 and the cup will be provided at packet pickup.
Please carry it with you as well as your water bottle. There will be absolutely no cups at aid stations (you will need to use your cup if you want to drink Coke or Ginger Ale, or grab some pretzels to go).
COURSE MAP
3 loop course traversing through beautiful John Bryan State Park–and is the same popular course used the last 3 years. Each loop will be approximately 10.3 miles. The course map will be posted on the ORRRC Website
