This is the 22nd YUTC Event
Mill Creek Park is a very scenic and picturesque area maintained by the Ohio Metro Parks system. It is the second largest urban park in the USA - only Central Park is larger.
The current course is 95% single track past large mature trees, past lakes and waterfalls. It is mixture of short steep hills followed by runnable terrain.
There is approximately 1397 feet of elevation gain per 25K loop.
The 25K course is one loop around Mill Creek Park. The 50K course is two loops around Mill Creek Park.
This is a terrific race for the newcomers to trail running and challenging for the old veteran trail dogs.
YUTC will provide everyone with a truly memorable experience. You will find yourself stopping and snapping photo after photo to share with friends and family.
The YUTC Course:
The course begins at the Bresko Pavilion and travels clockwise around the park passing the Mill then traveling through the Covered Bridge to the aid station on the other side.
After leaving the aid station, the course travels counter clock wise around Newport Lake. The course returns to the Covered Bridge and the aid station.
After leaving the Covered Bridge aid station for the second time, the course travels clockwise back to the Wick Recreation area - to the finish line/aid station at the Bresko Pavilion.
The course will be well marked on race day. There will be white ribbon hanging from the trees, white pie plates indicating turns and water based white paint on the ground with arrows.
Notes: The course will remain approximately the same this year. The 2025 race will continue to circle Lake Newport. The original YUTC course circled the lake. The course will again circle the Lake Newport.

NEW 10k for 2026!
We will be celebrating the new Buckeye Trail section at West Branch State Park. The Buckeye Trail has recently been designated a State Trail by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and is only the third trail to receive this recognition. This new section is the first of more to come!
West Branch State Park is predominantly forested with a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees. The forest is primarily oak-hickory and provides habitats for a diverse array of wildlife, including deer, foxes, raccoons, squirrels, pheasant, and songbirds. The dense canopy provides shade and cool temperatures in the warmer months making it perfect for hiking and running.
Marathoners will make their way around the eastern end of the lake crossing the dam and then continuing to the entrance to the campground before returning back to the beach. Half marathoners will finish at the turnaround and take a shuttle back to the finish party at the beach. 10k participants will complete an all-trail route from the beach to the dam and back.
