Why a salamander in the race logo? Brecksville Reservation has vernal pools with Spotted, Redback, and Jefferson varieties of Salamanders. In the spring, thousands of salamanders undergo a trek from their home in the woods to the vernal breeding pools. Not only are they just the cutest little animals but can you believe they have been on the Earth for more years than we have existed in days!

Chippewa Creek Challenge half marathon. I had a hard time doing this race, my head was not in the game and I just struggled more then usual. It was a very well organized race with 189 runners. It was a beautiful day to play outside!

Perfect fall day for a race through the woods! Crisp air & sunshine through the fall foliage. This race is perfect for trail lovers w/ rocks, roots, elevation, couple of stream, and bridges. Pumpkin rolls and hot cider waiting for you at the finish! Continue Reading...

Fall leaves 🍁, creek crossings, a few hills & wooden foot bridges, 2 loops that didn’t seem repetitive, made for another great run from Western Reserve Racing!
