From the Organizer
Join the River City Runners & Walkers Club as we host our 6th annual Broughton 5 Mile Trail Race at the Broughton Nature Park in Marietta, OH!
This is a true trail race that will take advantage of the beautiful wooded trails beginning at the Broughton Complex and take runners on a tour of the Marietta wilderness. The race will begin in the grass near the bike path and start with the Orange Loop course going up-hill. The course will then merge with the Red Loop and continue on that trail through the rest of the race making a full 5 mile loop back to the start line. While the course is challenging, the terrain levels off after the first mile. The course will be properly marked with a water stations around the 1 mile and 2.5 mile marks.
Packet pick-up begins in the pavilion near the start line at 7:00 AM and race begins at 9:00 AM. The course has a 2-1/2 hour time limit. All participants will receive a race shirt and awards will be given to top 3 male and top 3 female and top 2 in each 10-year age group in walk and run.
Runners and walkers will begin at 9:00 AM.
