Organiser's Description
The Towpath Trail 10K and Half Marathon! Come join the fun and run the beautifully maintained towpath trail along the mighty Maumee River. Both courses start at Providence Metropark near the dam across the river from Grand Rapids, OH. Youll head out on the historic canal towpath and then return to the finish at the Providence dam and shelter. The towpath is crushed gravel and dirt with lots of shade. Youll enjoy scenic views of the river and run past the historic canal locks and grain mill at the park. You can hang around by the dam at the Shelter after the race and then visit quaint Grand Rapids.
Half marathoners should be able to finish within three hours. Walkers are encouraged to participate in the 10K. Gift certificates will be given to male and female overall, masters (age 40-49), and grand masters (age 50 and above) winners in both races. No age group awards but all finishers will receive a medal and commemorative item.
The Towpath Trail 10K and Half Marathon is one of three trail race events in the Toledo Roadrunners Club Trail Race Series in partnership with Metroparks Toledo. It is a great introductory trail race as it is flat, open, and has good footing. It is perfect for just a run or training for an early fall marathon. Other races include the Oak Openings Stampede 5K and 25K races at Oak Openings Metropark and Falling Leaves 5K and 8 mile races at Secor Metropark. Registration for these other two 2024 events will be available on RunSignup at a later date.
Registration for the Towpath Trail 10K and Half Marathon includes a tee shirt or other item that will be revealed at a later date.
