Come on out and race on the wooded trails at the Oak Openings Metropark. Two race distances to choose from, 25K and 5K (walkers are welcome in this one). All races utilize the beautiful trails at Oak Openings Metropark that pass through hardwood and pine forests, open prairie, and along stream sides. All races start and finish at the Buehner Center next to Mallard Lake in the center of the park. The Oak Openings Stampede is one of four events in the Toledo Roadrunners Club Trail Series presented in partnership with Metroparks of Toledo and sponsored by Second Sole. Other races in the series are Marsh Madness 10K at Howard Marsh Metropark on June 20th, Towpath Trail Half Marathon and 10K at Providence Metropark on July 19th and Falling Leaves 5K and 8-miler at Secor Metropark on October 25th. Registration for these events are also available on RunSignUp.
If you are a current Toledo Roadrunners member, you will receive a $5.00 discount on the entry price of any of the Trail Series races. If you sign up for all four races at once, you will receive a $2.00 discount on each entry regardless of TRRC membership. You will also be awarded a nice Trail Race Series giveaway at the end of the series.
Our race will work to eliminate disposable cup waste from our aid stations by using Hydrapak reusable cups. Runners will receive a Hydrapak cup at packet pickup. We will still offer disposable cups at our aid stations, but we hope that runners will use their Hydrapak cups, carry a handheld water bottle, or wear a hydration vest. If you wish to purchase more Hydrapak products, go to www.HydraPak.com.
The free collapsible cups are provided by HydraPak, our Sustainable Racing Partner. As part of your entry to this event, HydraPak is also offering a 20% discount on all of their products at HydraPak.com. The 20% discount code will be made available to registered runners by email prior to the event.
Proceeds from the events support SewHope, a Toledo-based not-for-profit organization that provides health, education, and community development support to the poor in northern Guatemala.
