A lot of elevation. A lot of fun.

 

Rocks and Roots invites you to join us at our favorite home away from home: Scioto Trail State Forest in Ross County! Winding forest roads with beautiful views await! Did we mention hills? For those from Central Ohio, it may be a bit hilly, thus the challenge. Participants choose from 10 mile, 20 mile, and 50K.

​

Overnight camping is available on site. Plenty of parking available but we suggest carpooling. See you soon at our next trail getaway adventure!

​

Participants receive:

Due to COVID, two beloved mascots of the Rocks And Roots Trail Runners Association were sidelined last year. The Firefly and Squatch were put away, quarantined together for an unknown length of time. Now we’ve opened the doors, and what has emerged from quarantine is a beast more majestic than a pegasus, more fierce than a minotaur. Behold! The FireSquatch!  

​

Choose from 10K, 20K, or 50K distances!
