2022 Loop the Lake 50K/25K

Register for 2022 Loop the Lake 50K/25K

It's Backkkkkkk!!!! We are so excited to announce that Loop The Lake is back and ready for round 2! It will be held Saturday, November 12th at 7:00am at Munroe Falls Metro Park. Register today for the 50K, 25K, or 4-Person Relay! We have made a few changes this year to make the race, course, and transition area flow smoother, and we know you will love it! A few of the key changes are:
-The 50K will begin an hour earlier than the 25K and relay.

-The 50k and 25K runners will be separated from the relay runners while going over the timing mats so no one impedes your race route.

-We are working on getting tents, heaters, and coffee stations to keep you all warm… just in case it snows again.

-Prizes will be bigger and better!
-The pizza will arrive earlier!
-There will be an afterparty!!!
Plus so many more great additions! I've literally been taking notes since the gun went off last year, so we're going to do it up big this time around! The race will be capped due to parking at the park, so make sure to get registered early!!!

The 50k will run this loop 20 times and the 25k will run it 10 times. We will have a screen at the start finish line to track how many loops you've run, so you don't have to worry about keeping track! 

The relays loops can be run any way you choose. You could run your loops consecutively or switch off after very loop. Since your timing chip will be on your bib, you will not need to exchange anything, you will just run through the relay timing mat and then your teammate will start and run their leg. If you choose to split it evenly, the 4 person relay would be 7.75 miles each. Again, it does not have to be even, you can run the loops however your team chooses to, but you must complete a full loop before your next teammate takes off for theirs. 

The start and finish lines will be in the same place within the park (Maple Beach). You will run the road loop clockwise, and will complete a parking lot loop on the opposite side of the park around two cones and then back out to the road loop (see map). 

 

There will be an aid station on the course complete with hydration and nutrition! We will provide water, Heed, GU, granola bars, and other food. You are permitted to carry your own race day fuel however. 

Parking:

Parking will be in the Main Beach Lot to the left when you first pull into the park. It is a short walk to the start line. Spectators are welcome to come and cheer you on, but are asked to park in the main lot also and walk the short distance to a spot along the course. 

Packet Pickup:

Friday, November 11, 2022 12:00-6:00pm at The Portage Lakes Running Company Office

432 W. Turkeyfoot Lake Road. Akron, OH 44319. 

There will be race day pickup beginning at 6:00am near the start line, however, to cut down on long lines and to ensure that the race starts on time, we encourage you to pickup your packet on Friday! Relay runners may send one member of their team to pick up all the packets. 

Swag:

Runners will receive a t-shirt, long sleeved tee, or hoodie, depending on what distance they choose to run; an awesome medal, and possibly a golden trophy!!! 

Spectators:

Please park in the main lot and walk to a spot along the course to cheer on your runners! The park is beautiful and will make for some amazing photo ops, so please tag us in all your race day photos!
