Set aside March 10th as the date for a long course group get together. The plan is to have a casual morning run and then get the group together for breakfast.
Potential run location would be the Valley View area to run either the Canal Metropark path or the Towpath starting at Rockside and heading south.
Suggestions for a breakfast location appreciated.

Yours Truly is on the corner of Rockside and Canal. They're open early on Sundays and have great food.

As things get closer a specific address will be posted. It is in the Independence area near I-77 & 480.

The March 10th Long Course Group Run & Breakfast is a definite go.
First order of business is to run. The group will meet at 8AM at the Lock 39 Trailhead on the Towpath at 8000 Rockside Road, Independence 44131. The parking lot is right before Canal Road. There is also additional parking close to the trailhead.
The run will be a one hour out & back heading north on the Towpath Trail into the Cleveland Metropark's Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation. Why are we heading north? Because one mile south of Rockside road the towpath is closed.
Towpath Trail Closure
The National Park Service has closed the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail from Hillside Road to Stone Road in Valley View. A section of the trail is not passable due to hazardous conditions caused by erosion. Please respect all signs and closures.
This will also give you a chance to run a path with some new views.
If you want to run longer than one hour post here to find others who would want to start earlier than 8AM.
After the run we clean up as best we can and head over to Yours Truly where you can buy some breakfast to refuel.
8111 Rockside Rd. Valley View, Ohio 44125 (216) 524-8111
Post here that you will be attending the breakfast so I can provide a head count to Yours Truly.

Reading the description I had previously written I want to make clear the out & back run will be a total of one hour. 30 minutes out and 30 minutes back...unless you negative split.
It looks like some people are already looking to run longer.....Boyah.

A friendly reminder about the group run this coming Sunday. Yours Truly will be ready to help us fuel up post run.
Janet and some other people are looking to start early and get in a longer run. Post if you are interested.

Confirming I will be there, but not running extra long. It seems we're moving to summer time, which is an hour less sleep!

You are correct Ben.. Everyone remember that we spring forward this weekend.
Think of it this way......if you miss the run you will probably be right on time for breakfast.
