Description

SUNSET RUN + HIKE UPDATE:

This message is to inform you that this year’s Sunset Run+Hike has been canceled. Unfortunately, registration numbers were too low for us to be able to hold the event.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to hosting the race in 2022!
 
With that being said, we are encouraging everyone to get out for a run, walk, or hike to celebrate Trails Month! Our registration has been modified, and we're giving out a race pack (Sunset Run+Hike shirt, bib, and medal) (while supplies last) to anyone that logs their mileage between September 11th to the 30th. Let's see how much mileage we can rack up together by the end of the month!
 
Registration opens at 7am on Saturday, September 11th!
REGISTER FOR A RACE PACK!

We’re closing out the summer in style with a beautiful sunset run and hike through the park! For 12 years, the Ohio Township 5K was a fall staple where runners and walkers took on the challenging course through the park’s neighboring streets. With the event being cancelled in 2020, we took time to brainstorm new and creative ways to improve the event and make it something that’s unique to the area. We developed the sunset run to give runners and hikers a chance to explore our trails, and see the sunset in one of our favorite spots in Ohio Township! All abilities are invited to experience a course with sweeping views of the park as you make your way to the finish line. Upon completion of the run and hike, our medal celebration will take place as we watch the sunset’s stunning colors fade away past the tree line.


Cost

$25 for Run | $15 for Hike

How

COURSE:
RUN: The course length is roughly a 5k (3.1 miles) and will be completely contained within the park grounds. All abilities are invited, and the route will have signs and volunteers assisting you along the way. As you navigate the trails, be prepared for some hilly terrain, and a few muddy patches if it rains the week leading up to the event. Course surface includes road, grass, and a combination of paved and dirt trails.
HIKE: Participants have the option to register for the roughly 1-1.5 mile hike on the trails. The hike is not timed, and is a great way to experience the trails at a more leisurely pace.
