Race Information
You’ll start in the heart of Akron as you head south down Main Street before taking a turn towards the towpath. Meandering alongside the scenic canal provides an escape while still in the midst of the city, with fall foliage on full display the entire 3.1 miles. Cool down with crisp apple cider and snap a photo with your medal at the finish line!
