BW50K v5.0 - Sunday, November 30, 2014 0800


Join us for the 5th Annual Buckeye Woods 50K Run. This is a free Medina County Road Runners Club event.

The location is Buckeye Woods County Park. The event begins promptly at 8:00 AM on Sunday, November 30, 2014. Please arrive at least a few minutes early for the pre-race meeting.

Runners will traverse a 5-mile circuit around lakes and through woods six times, followed by a 1-mile loop to make 31 miles. The route is 95% dirt trails, and it's flat as a pancake. Here is a map of the course.

Aid will be very limited. We will use the picnic shelter at the start/finish and provide some water and maybe other stuff. Runners should plan to bring their supplies.

You may rsvp by joining the FaceBook event page, OR by emailing Suzanne Pokorny at running2befree@gmail.com. We will close the event when our limit of 45,000 runners (note the 5,000 increase from 2013) is exceeded.

Runners who make it as far as 25K, but not as far as 50K will be recognized in the results as having completed a 25K run.

As always, good weather is guaranteed. Or your money back.

And speaking of money, yes the event is free, but all participants MUST be MCRR members. Non MCRR members who donate $20 or more will be given FREE MCRR membership for one year, and they get to run as well!! (How's that for a way to get folks to join?)

Please try to be done by 4:00 pm. Anyone still on the course at that time will be insulted, harassed, tarred and feathered.
