Spring Running Series in Brecksville
The Spring Running Series takes place over three consecutive Thursday evenings in May at the Brecksville Reservation. Participants navigate a different 5-mile course each week, utilizing the trail systems within the park. The events are held on May 7, May 14, and May 21.
The series features an age-based offset start system. In this format, different age groups begin the race at specific intervals rather than all at once. This structure is designed to allow runners of various ages to compete for overall finish positions based on performance relative to their age group.
The locations for the individual races include:
- 5 miles starting at the Oak Grove Picnic Area
- 5 miles starting at the Oak Grove Picnic Area
- 5 miles starting at the Meadows Picnic Area
Participants are scored weekly based on their performance. Final results are tallied after the third and final race to determine the series awards. The trails within the reservation provide a varied terrain for both runners and hikers. The Oak Grove Picnic Area is located on Valley Parkway, approximately 1.5 miles east of Brecksville Road (US 21). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
