This is a run and walk. On a beautiful course, it splits two waterways: on the left of the course is waterfront canalway, on the right of the course is the beginning of the Tuscarawas River in Akron, on the south side of Summit County. Race is run primarily on the waterfront towpath with some roads. It is on the Mesopotamia section of the Towpath, one the Towpath's most scenic and colorful. Preregistrants receive men's or women's technical t-shirts.Great big goodie bag.
Proceeds benefit the Coventry Schools Foundation, which provides classroom grants and scholarships.
