The Crowell Hilaka Trail Run is all about getting out and running in the woods and enjoying nature. The course consists of combination of primitive single track (including Ohio’s Buckeye Trail), bridle trails, open fields, and camp roads. Note that since this is a trail run so you can expect to encounter mud, slippery rocks, foot-grabbing roots, minor water crossings, and other obstacles that we all love about the trails. Since the race is in mid September, the autumn colors will be starting to show their splendor!
The race takes place at the Richfield Heritage Preserve, formerly Crowell Hilaka. In addition to its natural beauty, the park is rich in history. It was home to the pioneer Oviatt family. Later it was home to inventor Jim Kirby whose work and creativity are apparent decades later. It is probably best known for its 75 years as a Girl Scout camp starting in 1937.
We will be running the 6-mile loop five times for the 50k, two times for the 1/2 Marathon, and once for the 10k. For 2024 we will be starting and finishing at the summer barn, so we will let you know where you get to sprint to pick up your candy and return for your finisher medal.
Aid stations will have water, gels, and some salty & sugary items. More substantial offerings later for the 50k.
