Course: Held on a scenic, well-paved 10-mile loop near Zoar, OH - a challenging circuit with two significant climbs (39x23 recommended) and a long, straight descent. The race will stage near the Zoar Tavern, and proceed neutral to the intersection of Dover-Zoar and Middle Run Rd., where the racing begins. The race will traverse, in a clockwise direction, the loop formed by Dover-Zoar Rd., Schneiders Crossing and Middle Run Rd. (see course map below). There are two significant climbs - one gradual climb on Dover-Zoar, and a steeper climb on Middle Run. Here is a link to the race profile, and individual profiles of the first and second climbs. The finish line is located on Middle Run Rd., a few kilometers after the top of the climb.
