Red, White, and Blue Uphill Climb Route for Saturday, July 3rd

Meeting Location

Lake Community YMCA

Uniontown, OH 44685

Meeting Time

6:20-6:25 a.m.

Run/Walk Time

Promptly at 6:30 a.m

Route Instructions

If you are running the full 12 miles this is a giant loop around Hartville.  If you are doing less than 12 miles you'll do an out-and-back of the course.  Simply memorize the mile marker location where you'll need to turn around, run to that location, and then run back to the start! Next week the entire route will be an out-and-back, which means the group can stay together even longer!  Woo hoo!  Yes, I realize the route is hilly.  However, the Akron Marathon route is even hillier! Hate me for the hills now, but love me for the training later!
