Where's the Dam Half and Quarter Marathon

Come join the fun and run a half or quarter marathon on the Towpath Trail along the Maumee River. Both courses start at beautiful Providence Metropark across the river from Grand Rapids, OH. You'll head out on the historic canal towpath and then return to the finish at the beautiful 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.
