Race Overview
The Canal Corridor 100 Mile Endurance Run will be held on October 7-8, 2023. The start and finish is in downtown Akron, Ohio at Canal Place, home to Missing Falls Brewery and R.Shea Brewing. Runners will run on the Towpath Trail in Stark, and Summit and Cuyahoga County. The race will run out and back in both the north and south direction. The course is FAST, FLAT, and SCENIC – suitable for anyone looking to complete their first 100 miler or a seasoned veteran who is going after the 100 miles PR. Aid stations are staffed by experienced ultra runners in Northeast Ohio who will make sure runners receive proper aid and care. Above all, we strive to be inclusive and welcoming and work to make our region a better place to live for all. Profits from this event will be donated to the Friends of Stark Parks, Summit Metroparks Foundation Trails Fund, the Conservancy for the Cuyahoga National Park and/or the Ohio and Erie Canal Coalition, non-profit organizations that oversee and help maintain the trail systems in Northeast Ohio.
We strive to make this event inclusive. If you’re looking to run 100, but the race is inaccessible to you financially, please contact the race director. Every year several runners ask that we donate their registration to someone in need. We can fit you in. In addition, we are a Trail Sisters approved race. You can expect equal space for women and men at the start, equal podium spots, and menstrual products will be clearly available at aid stations for anyone in need. We also are including a non-binary division starting in 2023.
Please understand that NO deferrals or refunds are allowed unless the event itself has to be canceled.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
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 yields to asphalt or concrete walkway and wooden bridges. Our course is 45% crushed limestone, 45% asphalt, 5% concrete and 5% wooden bridges. The start is in downtown Akron, Ohio and travels south on the Towpath to Ernie’s Bike Shop approximately 27 miles, then returns north. You can obtain aid from the start/finish line on your way to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park all the way to Peninsula at Lock 29, Ohio before turning around at approximately 69 miles to return to the OCIT aid station. At OCIT, you’ll turn around one more time to head back to the Ira aid station and then finally head home to Akron, OH. There are aid stations approximately every 4-6 miles apart throughout the course. The aid stations will be staffed by seasoned ultrarunners and will offer water, electrolyte drink and various food items including hot foods at night. Elevation gain over the entirety of the course is 807 feet.

Crew Information
Welcome! As experienced crew, we know what it feels like wandering around a strange town following your runner and forgetting to take care of yourself, don’t do it!! You are an integral part of getting your runner to the finish line, and we are here with some information to help you make it fun and safe!
We have included some information here to help you navigate with suggestions for points of interest, restaurants, grocery stores, and gas stations. Crewing is hard work!
Things to Note:
- Aid Station Food and Goodies are prioritized for runners, but feel free to keep yourself going by asking aid station volunteers for a bite.
- Dogs and Children are allowed. However, unattended children will be given kazoos and espresso. Unattended dogs may go missing because we love them and will take them home for ourselves. Please be respectful that this is a race environment. It will be a long day, we recommend keeping the kids with and without fur at home.
- Please respect staff, volunteers, and rangers.
- No alcohol. No littering. Period.
Runners are responsible for their crew and their crew’s compliance with our rules. Crew can access their runners and provide aid within 100 yards of any aid station (staffed or unstaffed EXCEPT for Lock 29 and Boston Store, which are off limits for crew and pacers). Crew CANNOT ride a bike alongside their runner. It’s fine if you bike from aid station to aid station, but please stay clear of runners and do not pace your runner. Please note that there are many places along The Towpath where crew can see their runner, but only the area around the aid station is an allowable place to receive aid. A violation of these rules will result in disqualification of the runner.
DIRECTIONS TO THE START/FINISH & PARKING
The start/finish is located in the parking lot in front of Missing Falls Brewery, Canal Place, 540 S. Main Street, Suite 112, Akron, Ohio 44311. There is plenty of parking in the Canal Place complex right along our race route. We’ll be directing traffic into the parking area as early as 5:30am.
Along the route, please be mindful of using parking spaces at trailheads and to not obstruct traffic or park “off road.”
MEDICAL
Aid stations have basic first aid supplies but cannot administer first aid. They do have contact information for our medical staff who can assist runners in an emergency or assess if it is safe for them to continue. Aid station personnel will call 911 if there is an emergency.
Pacer Information
Runners are responsible for their pacers conduct. Only one pacer per runner at any given time. Pacers may start at mile 45.2 (Wolf Creek) and every fully staffed aid station after mile 45.2 with the exception of Lock 29. Please note that the Towpath provides numerous access opportunities for pacers and crew to see their runner. However, pacers and crew may only assist their runner within 100 feet of aid stations. The Towpath is also bikeable, but runners CANNOT use a cyclist as a pacer. Note that runners may use a bicyclist as their crew. The difference is that a bicyclist acting as a pacer follows closely behind, beside or in front of their runner – this is prohibited and will result in disqualification of the runner. A bicyclist who is crewing should handle their runner within 100 feet of an aid station, but may not closely follow.
Pacers cannot start at the Lock 29 Trailhead because it is restricted by the National Park. Pacers who start at another aid station may see their runner through the Lock 29 turnaround. If pacers are unable to keep up with their runner for whatever reason, the pacer needs to stop at the next aid station. The race is not responsible for transporting pacers. Pacers cannot mule (carry things) for their runner. Pacers may not give their runner any aid, clothing, food, water unless it is an emergency situation, in which case the runner may be disqualified. The role of a pacer is for safety, not for aid or gaining an advantage over fellow participants. Runners are only allowed one pacer at a time. Pacers may have food at the aid stations. Pacers are expected to review, sign and submit a waiver to participate at the aid station where they start. Waivers will be available at all staffed aid stations starting at Mile 45.2.
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. Annually, more than 2.5 million Americans find their way to the iconic 81+ mile Towpath Trail running through the heart of the Canalway. The historic Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad and the nationally designated America’s Byway offer alternate Canalway travel options through the National Heritage Area. Whether birding, hiking, bicycling or traveling by horseback, trail, rail or Byway — the cultural, historic, recreational and natural resources of the Ohio & Erie Canalway add quite a bit to the quality of life in the counties of Cuyahoga, Summit, Stark and Tuscarawas in Northeastern Ohio. Within our borders — stretching 110 miles from Cleveland to New Philadelphia — you’ll find the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, the County Park Districts of Cuyahoga, Summit, Stark and Tuscarawas Counties all working together with communities and organizations to restore, build and replenish the cultural, historical, natural and recreational resources of the region that collectively tell our story. It’s been a source of economic strength for Ohio as well. Since receiving its National Heritage Area designation in 1996, the Ohio & Erie Canalway has leveraged upwards of $350 million in Federal, State, Local and Private investments throughout the region. Of that total, $85 million in leveraged investments have taken place along the Towpath Trail itself. In many respects, it’s an historic return on the $12 million in National Park Service funding that the Ohio & Erie Canalway Association has been awarded and is distributing through a combination of grants and technical assistance to regional partners. The collaborative community spirit at the heart of every National Heritage Area remains the hallmark of Ohio & Erie Canalway programs and projects that continue to help Ohio and our nation grow.
