BW50K v8.0 -- Sunday, November 26, 2017 -- 7:30 a.m

Join us for the 8th Annual Buckeye Woods 50K/25K Run. This is a free (aka "fat ass") event for all members of the Medina County Road Runners Club.

The location is Buckeye Woods County Park, and this event will begin promptly at 7:30 AM. (Only ONE starting time option this year.) Please arrive at least 10 minutes early for the pre-race meeting.

Runners will begin with a 1-mile loop and then traverse the 5-mile circuit around lakes and through woods six times, totalling 31 miles. The route is 80% dirt or crushed stone trails, and flat, flat, flat! Perfect course for a first 50k, or simply a semi-aided long run! No pressure, but lots of support.

Participants can run as many or as few loops as they want. Yo...u can also show up at anytime and run a loop(s) with your friends. Anyone who makes it as far as 25K, but not as far as 50K will be recognized in the results as having completed a 25K run.

Aid will be limited. Runners should plan to bring their own supplies. If you feel so inclined, bring something to share with other runners. We have reserved the picnic shelter and will use it as the start/finish and provide water, energy drink, pop and some sort of food you'd normally see at a real race.

Registration for this event is FREE, but all participants MUST be CURRENT MCRR members. Please make sure your membership dues are paid up for this year if you plan to run. We are an awesome group of people, who do things as a club... so your membership is totally worth it.

You may RSVP by choosing the "Going" option on this event page, OR by emailing me, Harold Dravenstott, at hdravenstott@gmail.com.

The pavilion is reserved for the entire day, although I ask that everyone shoot to be done by 4 p.m.

Please note that good weather is never guaranteed this time of year. No matter the weather, we run.

I hope to see a lot of MCRR faces at the event.
-Harold Dravenstott, Treasurer and Membership Coordinator
