Saturday's 17 Mile Route

Location
1018 Royce Street NW
Uniontown, OH 44685

Time
Arrive 6:20-6:24 am
Run 6:30

Description
I've picked this route because we have NEW RUNNERS (woo hoo) to the Trinity Trotters. So, this route is a straight shot with no turns. This is easier for people unfamiliar with the area!

This 17 mile run is an 8.5 mile out-and-back. You will go down Market Street for approximately 1.5 miles. You'll turn left on Lake O Pines. This is a beautiful road featuring one of Hartville's largest homes on the left before Kent Road. Enjoy the scenery and horses. Continue straight and Lake O Pines will cross over Kent Road. Keep going straight and Lake O Pines will turn into Nimishillen. You will be on this road for a VERY LONG TIME! Nimishillen will cross over Middlebranch. Keep going for miles and miles! You are going to take a beautiful jaunt through farm country. You will have some hills, but they are minimal. You're going to turn left on Ravenna Road and keep on trotting. You are going to see a blue sign, which indicates Maize Valley Farm is coming soon. You will find an orange construction cone with a 26.2 sticker on it...This means TURN AROUND and BRING IT ON HOME!!!
