Canal Corridor 100 Mile Endurance Run

The Canal Corridor 100 Mile Endurance Run will be held on October 12-13, 2024. Runners will run through the exceptionally beautiful Towpath Trail in Northeast Ohio. The race is FAST, FLAT, SCENIC and INCLUSIVE - suitable for anyone looking to complete their first 100 miler or a seasoned veteran who is going after their 100 mile PR.

Objective

The objective of this project is to provide a successful, enjoyable, inclusive, safe and profitable race to help raise funding and awareness for trail preservation, access to green space and to promote the Ohio and Erie Canal Corridor.

Course Description

Traditionally, the start/finish line is at Missing Falls Brewery in downtown Akron, OH. The course runs along The Towpath Trail following the Ohio & Erie Canalway. The Towpath is a crushed limestone trail that occasionally yields to asphalt or concrete walkway. The start is in downtown Akron, Ohio and travels south on the Towpath to Ernie's Bike Shop in Massillon, approximately 27 miles, then returns north.

A National Heritage Area

The Ohio & Erie Canalway is a National Heritage Area — designated by Congress in 1996 — to help preserve and celebrate the rails, trails, landscapes, towns and sites that grew up along the first 110 miles of the canal that helped Ohio and our nation grow.
