Location:
3012 Section Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45237
Coordinates: 39.197563, -84.419985
The Course:
The 3.6 mile course will take runners through almost everything that the park has to offer. Starting at the top of the hill, runners will descend down into the meadow, through the tall grass, and then run the perimeter before heading into the interior of the park. The course will follow the creek and cross it several times, giving runners the option to either tiptoe over stepping stones, use log bridges, or dash directly through it. The course will then gradually rise back to the shelter and meadow where it began. Distance is approximate and is subject to change.
