DESCRIPTION

New Date! New Distances! New Course!

With the starting gun echoing through the serene forest of Camp Manatoc, runners and hikers eagerly embark on a trail race set on a picturesque 5k loop. The camp’s topography offers a mix of natural elements on a well maintained, non-technical trail. The delightful course winds through lush woodlands surrounded by the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, providing a diverse and scenic journey. With each completed 5k loop, you will choose your own adventure, aiming to cover 25k, 50k, 50 miles, or the ultimate feat of endurance – 100k!

The race unfolds like a harmonious symphony of pounding footsteps, heavy breathing, and the occasional cheers from fellow competitors, fostering a shared experience of determination and camaraderie among trail friends. Crossing the finish line, whether it’s after 25k or the monumental 100k, brings an overwhelming sense of accomplishment, solidifying the Fools Trail Race as a rewarding and enjoyable test of both physical and mental endurance.

Sign up for your goal distance, and you will be credited for the distance you complete and eligible for awards. All 25k/50k/50m finishers earn a medal, and 100k finishers take home a buckle. This Memorial Day weekend race is a great warmup for the Burning River Endurance Run & Relay!

COURSE

Other than a road crossing or two, the course is 100% trails – from wide open trail to twisting and turning single track, and some challenging hills of course!
