The Towpath Trail 10K and Half Marathon! Come join the fun and run the beautifully maintained towpath trail along the mighty Maumee River. Both courses start at Providence Metropark near the dam across the river from Grand Rapids, OH. You'll head out on the historic canal towpath and then return to the finish at the Providence dam and shelter. The towpath is crushed gravel and dirt with lots of shade. You'll enjoy scenic views of the river and run past the historic canal locks and grain mill at the park. You can spend some time around by the dam at the Shelter after the race and then visit quaint Grand Rapids.
Half marathoners should be able to finish within three hours. Walkers are encouraged to participate in the 10K. Gift certificates will be given to male and female overall, masters (age 40-49), and grand masters (age 50 and above) winners in both races.
