Goodyear Metropark Hike Trail Run
Hosted by Greater Akron Area Hikers
Details
This will be a trail run through a combination of the Parcours, Piney Woods, and Alder trails for a distance of about 3 miles. The pace will probably be anywhere from approximately 10:30 to 20:00 minute/mile pace depending on terrain. There are a few fairly steep hills at the beginning that tend to slow the pace way down (at least for me). Note that the trails are full of exposed roots, rocks, and uneven rough terrain that create a lot of trip hazards, so proceed at your own risk!
The start location is the Parcours Trailhead at the northern most point of the parking lot just to the west of the baseball field. Just enter the main parking access road off of Newton Street and keep going straight north to the end.
