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. You'll 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. You'll enjoy scenic views of the river and run past the historic canal locks and grain mill at the park. You can spend some time 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.
Specific to the Towpath Trail 10K & Half Marathon. Mercy Health – Toledo will provide onsite medical support with assistance from Nationwide Children's Hospital – Toledo athletic trainers.
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 on September 7 and Falling Leaves 5K and 8 mile races at Secor Metropark on October 26. Once registration opens for these other two events, a discount option will be offered if you sign up for all three events at the same time. If you are planning to do this, please wait to register.
Registration for the Towpath Trail 10K and Half Marathon includes a tee shirt. There is no shirt option where more of your registration fee will go to charity!
Towpath Trail 10K and Half Marathon is currently capped at 175 participants. This event sold out two months in advance of the 2024 event.
