You can pay for the shirt when you pick it up.

Nike Pro Fit (Half Zip)
  • Wick away fabric
  • Fits big
  • Logo is centered on the back of the shirt and is pretty large

Run Time
Promptly @ 7:30 a.m.


Location
1018 Royce Street NW
Uniontown, OH

Route Details
This route was made famous, feared, and dreaded during the Cleveland Marathon training. The Trotters thought we'd never want to run this route again. Man, time sure changes things because I've received three requests to do this route again. This WILL probably be our safest route for winter training. The roads are typically pretty clear from snow. So, get used to this route and get ready to fight the hills and the wind.....January snowfall will come soon! This is a 6.5 mile out-and-back. Pick your distance runners-Figure out how far you want to run. Memorize the street where you need to stop in order to get your mileage. Tell Coach Momma C the mileage you want to run PRIOR to leaving the Magnus house. She'll make sure you have a ride back to the start.

Route Map
Y'all ain't getting no stinking map. You hit State Street and go straight until you feel like turning around. It is the simplest route the Trotters will ever have!

Transportation Vehicle/Roaming Aid Station
Yes! Coach Momma C will be there to provide fuel, food, and transport back to the start line for those running less than 13 miles.


Route
Turn RIGHT out of Magnus driveway (0 Miles/13 Miles)

Saturday 15 Mile & Pick Your Distance

Location
1018 Royce Street NW
Uniontown, OH

Meet Time
7:25 a.m.

Run Time
7:30 a.m.

Route Details
Portions of this route might look familiar (Smith Kramer and Kent Road), but most of the route is brand new for all Trotters (Congress Lake Road and Swamp Road). This is a nice route and relatively flat. Enjoy!

Roaming Water Station/Transportation Vehicle
Coach Momma C will be out brining you water, food, and First Aid. Water, Power Aid, and GU is provided. If you'd like additional items for your run...feel free to bring them. Coach Momma C will put your items in the car and give them to you upon your request.

How does the transportation vehicle work?
I want to run 5 miles. What should I do? The course is an 7.5 mile out-and-back, which makes a 15 mile route. 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 15 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. You may be in the car with Coach Momma C for awhile before she can take you back to the start. Just be patient.
