Race registration at http://www.premierraces.com/viewevent.asp?eventID=649 The Earth Day Challenge Half Marathon and the Earth Day Challenge 4 Miler will start and end at the Kenyon Athletic Center on the campus of Kenyon College. Participants will complete a 4-mile loop through historic Gambier with a portion run on Kenyon's tree-lined Middle Path. Upon completing the Gambier Loop, 4 Miler runners and walkers will finish on the track and the Half Marathoners will head out onto the Kokosing Gap Trail for a beautiful and flat out-and-back before returning to finish on the track. The course is mostly flat, with one hill at about ½ mile. Gambier is a great location for spectators, with good viewing throughout the village. It is only a short walk from downtown Gambier to the finish line! The Kokosing Gap Trail is a wonderfully maintained corridor which affords some truly amazing views of the Kokosing State Scenic River and the Knox County countryside.
