BW50K v9.0 -- Sunday, November 25, 2018 -- 7:30 a.m

Join us for the Ninth Annual Buckeye Woods 25K/50K Run, Autumn Edition. 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 7:30 AM. 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.

At 3:30 PM (8 hours in), the race directors will need to pack up and leave (they have lives too). Any runners still on the course may self-report their finish time.
