Well, the XTERRA Hampton Hills Trail Run is about 8 hours away. The second race in the XTERRA Northern Ohio Trail Run Series is held in Akron at the Hampton Hills area of the Summit County Metroparks. The course is the simplest with two 3 mile loops, each of which feature a steep uphill and a steep downhill. Still, it’s the simplest course of the series and should result in some decent times.
