2011 Emerald Necklace 100K Information Page

Join us for a 100K fun run Sunday, May 22nd, 2011. This 100k will actually be 50k, since no one we know of will be running 100k. We will start at Bonnie Park in Mill Stream Run Reservation in Strongsville, run 31 miles round-trip to/from Station Road in Brecksville, and return to our starting point. If anyone wants to, they may then run 31 MORE miles northwest to Rocky River metropark (at Memorial Fields) and back. See the course notes below for more information.

There will be no support, although we're trying to line up some volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Dan Horvath. We can use all the help we can get.

Join this group on FaceBook (Emerald Necklace 100K page) if you are interested in running.

Here are your INSTRUCTIONS:
1) The run will begin promptly at 6am on May 22. We’ll have a pre-run meeting at 5:45am.
2) Unless we find more volunteers, there will be no support. I will drop supplies at two places along the way however. More on supplies later.
3) The course:
a. Stay on the all-purpose trail at all times, except where it doesn't exist, between Ridge Rd. and Brecksville Rd.
b. When you reach Barr Road (next crossing after Broadview Road), you will see construction signs. Continue to run through the construction zone.
c. At the Oak Grove picnic area, at mile 14.5, run around the U-shaped area.
d. When you return to Bonnie Park, go to your car and get some refreshments. You've now run 31 miles. At this point, you can run some more if you like, or else get in your car and go home. Record your time!
4) This is a fun run, so have fun.
