Congratulations Runners!

Dear Akron Runners,

Congratulations to all the runners that battled the blue line on Saturday!

You did GREAT and should be so proud of everything you've accomplished. The Akron course is NOT easy! You came, you ran, you got your medal!

We hope to see you this Saturday for the Trinity Trotters group run. Details posted later this week!

Happy Recovery!

Run for fun,
Hope "Sweet Feet" Magnus

Good Luck Akron Marathoners!

Dear Akron Runner,

The Trinity Trotters would like to wish all the Akron full, half, and relay runners a great race. Have fun and enjoy the best race in O-H-I-O!

When you get to the finish look UP and LEFT. We'll have about 15-20 Trotters cheering for you in the stands!

Remember to thank all the volunteers along the route. They are graciously giving their time to help you succeed!

Run for fun,

Trinity Trotters

Saturday: 8 Mile & Pick Your Distance Route

Location
1018 Royce Street NW
Uniontown, OH

Meet
6:20-6:25 am

Run
Promptly @ 6:30 am

Distance
8 Miles or Pick Your Distance

Roaming Water Station and Transportation
We will have the roaming water station this week. We will also provide transportation back to the start location for any runner not running the full 8 mile loop.

Example-I want to run 5 miles. What should I do? The course is an 8 mile loop. You'll run the 5 miles out with the group. Once you get to the 5 mile mark you STOP. Coach Momma C will pick you up at the 5 mile mark and take you back to the start location. The same applies for any distance under 8 miles. This ensures you don't run any portion of the course alone, you don't get lost, and you get to stay part of a group longer. Just memorize the road you need to stop at...stop at that road...get a ride.
