Description

Formerly Where's the Dam or Where's the Dam Trail, this year brings a new name and a standard distance!  Now the Towpath Trail 10K and Half Marathon, come join the fun and run towpath trail along the Maumee River.  Both courses start at the beautiful Providence Metropark near the dam across the river from Grand Rapids, OH. You'll head out on the historic canal towpath and then return to the finish at the Providence dam and shelter. The towpath is crushed gravel and dirt with lots of shade. You'll enjoy scenic views of the river and run past the historic canal locks and grain mill at the park. You can hang around by the dam at the Shelter after the race and then visit quaint Grand Rapids.

Half marathoners should be able to finish within three hours. Walkers are encouraged to participate in the 10K.  Gift certificates will be given to male and female overall, masters (age 40-49), and grand masters (age 50 and above) winners in both races. No age group awards but all finishers will receive a medal and commemorative item.

The Towpath Trail 10K and Half Marathon is one of three trail race events in the Toledo Roadrunners Club Trail Race Series in partnership with Metroparks Toledo.  It is a great introductory trail race as it is flat, open, and has good footing. Other races include the Oak Openings Stampede 5K and 25K races at Oak Openings Metropark on September 10 and Falling Leaves 5K and 8-mile races at Secor Metropark on October 22.  Registration for these events will be available on RunSignup.

Registration for the Towpath Trail 10K and Half Marathon includes a tee shirt that will be revealed at a later date.

Toledo Roadrunners Club members receive a $5.00 discount which will be taken at final check out.

New this year is an additional $6.00 discount ($2.00 per event) if you register for all three Trail Series events at the same time.  No discount will apply if you register for one now and the others later. 

We are currently working with Metroparks Toledo on offering a giveaway for participants that run or walk in all three Trail Series events. This will be updated and revealed at a later date.
