RACE START TIME: 7:00 p.m.

WHERE: Englewood Metropark West Park – 100 E. National Rd., Englewood, OH 45322

PARKING: 

From either east or west, take I-70 to the State Route 48 exit and head north on Route 48 into Englewood.  DO NOT CROSS DAM. Race is on the west side of the park! Use entrance ER-5 at the intersection of National Road (US 40) and Main Street (US 48) in downtown Englewood.   Follow the park road to the parking lot. We will be using Lawmill Shelter.

COURSE: Out and back on the bike path.  First .5 mile is mostly a fast downhill… meaning the last .5 mile is “slightly” uphill, just kidding, it’s a real climb. Click for map

Minors may be registered on RunSignup by a parent or guardian or in-person with a parent or guardian present to sign the waiver.
