Small race and there is PLENTY of nearby parking on the streets nearby. There is a men’s and woman’s restroom in the shelter house at the park and there was no line to wait.
VERY FLAT course through time! Start at Veteran’s Memorial Park containing an old railroad depot and caboose. You’ll run through the one-of-a-kind covered bridge and past the 2nd oldest inn in Ohio, Florentine Restaurant.
Afterwards, eat ample bananas, fruit snacks, Cliff bars, and of course, water and while listening to the DJ!
