The Beach City 5K race course was designed by Ron Legg of Beach City, Ohio. The goal is to provide a certified 5K race distance that is also record
eligible and fast. Considering the limited area the village provides, the
configuration of the streets and the terrain, the course is fast and flat and
provides good access to the business area of town during the race. It is our hope to provide a 5K race that
runners will have their best chance to have a top performance on a course that
is USATF Certified and Record Eligible. In late September most runners are in
shape and the temperature should be low.
A true P.R. or top performance should be run on a USATF Certified Course
which is Record Eligible. If a course start and finish are not close enough to
each other or the starting point elevation is too high compared to the finish
elevation or if wind is a factor, no record would be recognized.
We have many fine races in the area that are well run and
have varying degrees of difficulty. Some
are flat, some are downhill, some just plain hilly, and a few up hill. Each race is unique and special in its own
way. Beach City will have the reputation
of being flat and fast.
