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. Now in its third year, the race features a primitive trail course that includes sections of cut field grass and uneven terrain, with potential mud spots after rain. 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.
