Details
The Sand Run Metro Park area can be confusing. We will meet at the BP on Merriman Road and Portage Trail. This is across from the Indian Statue and RP Fitness. Plan on meeting at 5:40 in the BP parking lot. We will all drive to the Sand Run Metro Park START LOCATION. They have plenty of parking and this will be our START and FINISH location.

All runners are welcome for all distances! No matter your distance...we will get you back to your vehicle. Your mileage will be an out only route. You'll run with the group out....a roaming water station helper will take you back to your vehicle at Sand Run. IF YOU NEED TRANSPORTATION BACK TO YOUR VEHICLE.... CONTACT HOPE MAGNUS PRIOR TO THE RUN SO ACCOMMODATIONS CAN BE MADE WITH WATER STATION HELPERS!!!!!! You may have to wait for awhile before being brought back to your vehicle. The water station helpers must give water to all runners before taking you back to your car. WE CAN ALSO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE YOUR VEHICLE AT YOUR STOP POINT PRIOR TO THE RUN. Contact Hope Magnus for details on how you can drop off you car and be picked up prior to the run on Saturday.

Those doing the 20 miler will have a 10 mile out-and-back tour of the Akron Marathon blue line! Details regarding the route will be posted later this week.

The route will start at the Sand Run Metro Park. This IS part of the Akron Marathon route, but the blue line is NOT painted inside the park. You pick up the blue line again once you exit the park. You will be running the hills and inclines that make the Akron Marathon route famous and feared! Don't worry...you're running them early in the course. You'll run them down hill on your way back! You're welcome! :) I will NOT have road turn-by-turn directions when I post the route. I will have approximate mile markers. However, if you follow the blue line....you'll know the route. If you don't see the blue line...you aren't on the route. Pretty simple!

AKRON or BUST!!!!!
