Buckeye 50k History

Local Ultra Runenr Lloyd has written up a nice summary of the history of the Buckeye 50K. To read the entire report click here

"Fourteen years ago, Joe Jurczyk introduced the first Buckeye Trail 50 km as a low-key birthday fun run. Twelve runners participated in that inaugural event. According to Jurczyk, the main reason for the run was to “introduce runners to some of the local trails that we have here in the Cuyahoga Valley.”"

SERC Mentioned in the Plain Dealer 7/8/08

Click here to read the whole Plain Dealer Trail Story

"...One of the many up-sides of trail-running is its sheer accessibility. The sport is just about as low-tech and inexpensive as possible, and here in Northeast Ohio, we are blessed with a vast network of trails, not only in the Cleveland Metroparks but also in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

If you're new to running, you can start on a bridle path or the Canal Towpath and graduate to any portion of the Buckeye Trail. If you're nervous about directions or simply prefer companionship, you can connect with groups at Cleveland Southeast Runners Club (www.southeastrunningclub.org) or stores like Vertical Runner in Hudson and Second Sole in Rocky River, Lyndhurst and Medina..."

ATO Charities Mud March 7/26/08

Dear Athletes,

My name is Chuck Mozingo and I'm coordinating this year's Mud March, the premier event for ATO Charities, in Auburn on 7-26. We're contacting many local schools, individuals and companies to promote participation in the event and are encouraging a bit of competitive spirit between these organizations. The school or organization with the most registered participants by 7-10 will receive customized shirts commemorating their participation.

Last year’s March was voted the best trail run by Cleveland magazine in 2007 and I would invite you to learn more about this unique and outstanding event at www.atocharities.org. You can also find a link at www.hermescleveland.com or call me at the numbers below for further information. The event supports 3 local charities this year and provides for a wonderful day of activities for the individual or family. I hope to see you and the representatives from your school or company with you at the event on 7-26. Have a wonderful day.

Cordially,

Chuck Mozingo
