From the Organizer

Are you ready to conquer the ultimate autumn adventure? Join us for an unforgettable trail experience among the stunning beauty of the Brecksville Reservation in the heart of the Cleveland Metroparks. Lace up your shoes and immerse yourself in the stunning fall foliage – a vibrant symphony of reds, oranges, and golds that can only be found during the peak of fall.

Our race logo pays homage to the whimsical Spotted, Redback, and Jefferson Salamanders that call Chippewa Creek their home. In the Spring, these tiny creatures embark on a journey from the woods to vernal breeding pools, symbolizing endurance and the spirit of exploration – qualities you'll embody as you tackle the Chippewa Creek Challenge.
