Crowell Hilaka Trail Run

The Crowell Hilaka Trail Run, held at Richfield Heritage Preserve in Richfield, Ohio, offers runners a scenic experience through woods, primitive single tracks including Ohio's Buckeye Trail, bridle trails, open fields, and camp roads. Participants can choose from 50K, half marathon, and 10K distances, with the 50K consisting of five loops of a 6-mile course. The trail features natural obstacles like mud, slippery rocks, roots, and minor water crossings, enhanced by early autumn colors in mid-September.

The preserve is historically rich, once home to pioneers and a Girl Scout camp. Aid stations provide water, gels, and snacks, and awards are given to top finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
