One of the most beautiful trails I have ever run! Truly took my breath away!

Good communication, easy directions, and ample free parking near the start / finish with a clear view of the final leg of the course.

Gun start / chip finish on a well marked mostly single track trail, challenging stairs, and stretches of fast road through Mill Creek Park.

Trail had a nice mix of super technical rocks and roots sprinkled with some very run able trails and 1400′ of elevation.

Trees, boulders, lakes, a waterfall, a working mill, and a covered bridge. Absolutely breathtaking!

Nice after party with chili / fajita / nacho lunch, SS collared tech shirt, running hat, and finisher’s sticker

Perfect weather and great course made for a fairly fast trail race.

Very happy with my 3:19 finish time that put me 16th overall female and 2nd place age group

Top 3 overall male / female finisher awards were cute sock monkeys in honor of one of the many hill climbs. I would absolutely do this one again!

Race Recap By Lynett McClay:

The Youngstown Ultra Trail Classic 50K & 25K is one of the most beautiful trails that I have run by far. This course is mostly single track with technical areas, road, plenty of roots and rocks, challenging stairs, and few good steep hills with elevation of 1400ft, and steep declines. The ran along Mill Creek park with beautiful waterfalls and covered bridge, lake, and trees to climb over. Gun start/ chip finishing a well marked course. Plenty of parking and great communication. A little walk to indoor restrooms or you can use the porta potties near the course. Nice after party with chili/ fajita and nachos lunch. Every participant receives a soft tee shirt and finishers get a hat and sticker. It was a beautiful morning for a run through this scenic course.
