1K Kids run is an out and back.
5K Run/Walk is the 5K course funded by a Toledo Roadrunners Club grant given in 2018. Mile markers were recently added. It consists of a loop and an out and back. Start and finish are near the Mary Jane Gill Shelter. There is one water stop around just before 1.7 miles. When running or walking the 5K course, please stay to the right to avoid oncoming traffic (runners). The map displays the course as the brown Walk/Bike Path.
The park is open to the public during the event. Please be respectful of other runners, walkers, and cyclists.
Timing is with electronic hand timers and popsicle sticks. Places based on gun time. There are no awards, but enjoy the snack table! If you plan to walk or run the 1.7 mile loop only, don't take a popsicle stick. For those that complete the 5K, take the popsicle stick handed to you then head to scoring table so your place can be recorded. Give back the popsicle stick please!
