What Makes It Great

The front half of the Burning River 100-mile course, running point-to-point from downtown Cuyahoga Falls south to Silver Springs Park in Stow, Ohio. The route follows the Cuyahoga River Valley through singletrack, bridle trails, the Ohio-Erie Canal Towpath, and occasional road sections. Rolling terrain through hardwood forests makes for a beautiful and challenging 50-mile run.
