🌳 About Mill Creek Park

  • Scenic Area: Mill Creek Park is a very scenic and picturesque area maintained by the Ohio Metro Parks system. It is the second largest urban park in the USA - only Central Park is larger.
  • Course Condition: The current course is 95% single track past large mature trees, lakes, and waterfalls. It is a mixture of short steep hills followed by runnable terrain.
  • Elevation Gain: There is approximately 1397 feet of elevation gain per 25K loop.
  • Loop Details: The 25K course is one loop around Mill Creek Park, while the 50K course is two loops around Mill Creek Park.

🏃‍♂️ Race Description

This is a terrific race for newcomers to trail running and challenging for the old veteran trail dogs. YUTC will provide everyone with a truly memorable experience. You will find yourself stopping and snapping photo after photo to share with friends and family.

There will be an after-race party this year at the Bresko Pavilion. We encourage family and friends to join you after you cross the finish line for photos and fellowship. The hillside at the finish line will be covered with a cheering crowd as runners valiantly charge up the hill to the finish. Let's continue this wonderful tradition!
