Downtown Hudson
Race for the Parks is back! This fast and fun 5k & 10k event combines the best roads and trails in Hudson, Ohio. The speedy 5k road course leads you out and back in downtown Hudson neighborhoods, and the 10k takes you to and around the trails of Hudson Springs Park, for a mix of pavement and wide crushed gravel/dirt trails. Start and finish on the Green near the Hudson Visitors Center and Vertical Runner, and spend your morning exploring the quaint town of Hudson that Western Reserve Racing calls home.
PREVIEW RUN: Join us at the Cinco de Mayo Run with New Balance on Tuesday, May 5th at 6:30 pm at Vertical Runner Hudson as we preview the course. New Balance will provide demo shoes, and post-run we’ll enjoy Skratch Labs’ Skratcharitas and chips and salsa.
