Upper Grand River Trail Race

Austinburg, United States • 12 Jul 2025

The Upper Grand River Trail Race is an annual 5K trail running event held at the Upper Grand River Metropark in Austinburg, Ohio.

The course is clearly marked and supported by volunteers. In addition to the main race, there is a Ruck Division for participants carrying weighted backpacks or vests, though no awards are given for this category. The event encourages community participation with affordable registration fees and offers discounts for referrals and donations to the Ashtabula County Metroparks Foundation.
