Route Description
This is a MODIFIED version of the Stomp the Grapes Half Marathon Route. We modified the route because several roads are too dangerous to run (sharp curves/blind spots). The map below is the half marathon route. Again, we are using a modified version of the course, but this will give you an idea of where you are going:

Saturday's 8 Mile/Pick Your Distance Route

This was a popular route. We've had several Trinity Trotters request we run this one again!

Uniontown, OH

Meet

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.
