Towpath Trail Half Marathon & 10k

Embark on a scenic journey along the mighty Maumee River at The Towpath Trail 10K and Half Marathon! Starting at Providence Metropark near the dam in Grand Rapids, OH, both courses lead runners on the historic canal towpath, adorned with crushed gravel, dirt paths, and shaded stretches. Take in picturesque views of the river, pass by historic canal locks, and savor the charm of the park. Half marathoners aim for a three-hour finish, while walkers are warmly welcomed to the 10K. Gift certificates await male and female overall, masters (age 40-49), and grand masters (age 50 and above) winners. Although no age group awards, all finishers receive a medal and a special commemorative item. As part of the Toledo Roadrunners Club Trail Race Series in collaboration with Metroparks Toledo, this race stands as an excellent introduction to trail running—flat, open, and with stable footing. Ideal for casual runs or early fall marathon training, the event caps at 175 participants, having sold out five weeks in advance in 2023.
