Ninja 5K and 10K at Akron
The US Road Running event in Akron, Pennsylvania, takes place at Loyd H Roland Memorial Park. This athletic competition features two primary race distances held on a paved out-and-back course. The event focuses on a repetitive loop format where participants complete multiple segments to reach their total distance.
Available distances include:
- 5K (completed by running the out-and-back course two times)
- 10K (completed by running the out-and-back course four times)
The race route is approximately 0.78 miles for a single leg, totaling 1.56 miles per out-and-back lap. Participants have a course time limit of 2:00 hours to complete their chosen distance. Registration is managed exclusively online via RunSignup, as there is no option for on-site registration on the day of the event.
Logistical facilities include bathrooms located at the pavilion near the starting line. Packet pickup is scheduled to begin 30 minutes before the official start and concludes 10 minutes prior to the race. All participants who finish the course receive a finisher medal. While not mandatory, the event includes an option for participants to compete in a best costume category. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
