Canal Corridor 100 Review

I have not completed the entire 100 mile distance at this event however I have crewed and paced different runners 4 years in a row and I would recommend this race to anyone from beginner to seasoned ultra runner. This event is established and organized with a clearly marked course along the scenic towpath. The course does change slightly year to year and this year, it took us into Cleveland for the first time. Absolutely stunning coming into the city at night with all of the buildings and stadium lights! This also added some elevation changes and challenges to the usually flat, fast course. Well spaced aid and water stations along the entire route with lots of crew access. Nice LS tech shirt and finisher medals. Sub 24 hour finishers earn the coveted gold buckle and 24-30 hour finishers earn the silver buckle.
