Course and support
The course follows the Ohio & Erie Canalway Towpath Trail, running north from Akron to Canal Basin Park in the Flats of downtown Cleveland and returning to Akron; the final course depends on permitting by local jurisdictions. The trail surface is approximately 70% crushed limestone and 30% asphalt or concrete. Total elevation gain over the course is about 2,300 feet. Aid and water stations are placed roughly every 4 to 5.5 miles, alternating between staffed full aid stations and unstaffed water and gel stations. Full aid stations offer water, electrolyte drink and various food items, including hot food at night. Packet pickup, drop bag procedures and volunteer meetings are part of the pre-race operations.
