2020 Race for the Parks
RACE FOR THE PARKS 5K & 10K
Saturday, October 17th in Hudson

This 5k & 10k event is a combination of roads and a non-technical, groomed trail in Hudson, Ohio. For the trail section, we highlight one of the gems of the Hudson Parks – Hudson Springs Park. The wide crushed gravel path is a favorite of the local runners and walkers as it winds around the lake and through the forest. After the race, head to downtown Hudson and stop in at Heartwood Roastery, Hudson's Restaurant, All Around Cyclery, Vertical Runner, and many more! Start your day with a run and then enjoy dining, shopping, and meandering in Downtown Hudson – all while you help us raise money for Hudson Parks!

New! Staggered starts and you can pick your start time. Read more about our COVID-19 race guidelines here.

MINNEHAHA 10K TRAIL RACE
Sunday, November 8th at Camp Manatoc, Peninsula

The technical trails of this Dirty Trail Series race run wild and free, like the falling water you’ll see while passing Minnehaha Falls. This 10k is a great shake-out run after Leave No Trace on Saturday, or a nice short distance test of your max trail speed! Details here...
