Summer BW50K v8.1 -- Sunday, July 1, 2018 -- 6:00 AM


Join us for the eight-and-a-halfth Annual Buckeye Woods 25K/50K Run. It's inarguably the inaugural summer version. This is a free event for all members of the Medina County Road Runners Club.

The location is Buckeye Woods County Park (6335 Wedgewood Rd, Medina, OH 44256), and this event will begin promptly at 6:00 AM on July 1.  Please arrive at least 10 minutes early to check in.

Runners will begin with a 1-mile loop and then traverse the 5-mile circuit around lakes and through woods six times, for a total of 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. You can also show up at any time and run as much as you want 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, Dan Horvath at runhorvathrun@hotmail.com.

The pavilion is reserved for the entire day, although I ask that everyone shoot to be done by 3 PM.

The weather is guaranteed. If you don't like it, you may have your money back. But we're gonna run no matter what.
