Details
Already gaining popularity in just four short years on Ohio's road race
calendar, the Wooster Heart & Sole Community Run/Walk saw more
than 600 runners and walkers come out to take part in the 2007 running
of the event, and organizers are expecting even more for this year's
race. Sponsored by Buehler's Fresh Foods and run as a benefit for the
local United Way of Wayne & Holmes Counties, the race takes
participants on a tour of downtown Wooster, starting at the downtown
gazebo and passing by local sights such as the College of Wooster and
Christmas Run Park.
The out-and-back course for the race is by turns flat and fast as well
as hilly, and is run entirely on paved surfaces along the city streets
and through the neighborhoods of Wooster. Runners in both the
half-marathon and the 10K start the race at 1:30 PM on Saturday.
For those thinking of participating in the event, you'll have a choice
of running or walking, as both runners
and walkers are welcome in both events.
In past years, the race has also been run in conjunction with the
annual fall Woosterfest, which brings out local families for the fall-
and Halloween-themed event complete with live music, arts and crafts
shows, pumpkins and plenty of beer and brats.
