Training Sites - Towpath in Peninsula

 

The development of the Towpath in Akron now makes it possible to run between Akron and Cleveland. Prior to that time, the Towpath was most easily accessed in Peninsula at Lock 29. Peninsula remains the site for some workouts that are staples of Akron Cross Country, such as the 6M dynamic run for women, or the 8M dynamic run for men. In these runs the pace changes each mile. Adriana Zalucka now holds the women's 6M dynamic run record (35:26) breaking the old record of 37:15 that was shared by Michelle Rizzo and Bobbie Hardbarger. Michelle still has the fastest last mile (5:28). Mickey Andrade and Rob Murray ran together to establish the men's 8M dynamic run record (43:28). Mickey has the last mile record (4:51).
