Saturday's Half Marathon Running Route & Alternate Routes

Location
1018 Royce Street NW
Uniontown, OH 44685

Arrive
6:20-6:25

Run
6:30

Description
This is a thirteen mile loop through downtown Hartville and rural farm country. I tried to find thirteen miles that we had never run before. Unfortnately, this would have required five additional/substantial turns and I believe would be too complicated to navigate. Therefore, the first 8 miles is all new. You're encouraged to review the map. You'll be on Smith Kramer Road two different times....these are VERY different portions of Smith Kramer. Just make sure you turn LEFT at the first Smith Kramer sign after passing Seven Hills Country Club @ mile 5.5....and you'll be fine! The last five miles will be familiar to you.....Fortunately, you'll know how close you are to the finish! Woo hoo!
