ATWOOD LAKE HIKING RUNNING WALKING
5K TRAIL RUN & FAMILY WALK
By Doug Kish
On a beautiful, sunny September Sunday runners, walkers and families came out to participate in the inaugural Atwood Lake Resort 5K Trail Run & Family Walk. Many participants spent Saturday night at the Resort in Sherrodsville, Ohio enjoying the spectacular view of the lake from their room balcony and a gourmet dinner in the Vistas dining room. Families were heard commenting they were not aware such a beautiful property was merely a short drive from Stark County and they would certainly return in the future.
After picking up their race packets in the Resort ballroom and visiting the 20 exhibitor booths on Sunday, participants assembled on the front lawn at the start line. The course included numerous challenging hills on the back of the property which afforded beautiful views of Atwood Lake. Everyone crossed the finish line on the parking lot where they were invited to enjoy the brunch buffet in the dining room for a discounted price. Live entertainment continued throughout the afternoon on the outside lawn while people were able to inspect boats, motor homes, golf carts and automobiles displayed by additional exhibitors.
Many thanks to all race participants, sponsors and exhibitors. Special thanks to Atwood Lake Resort & Golf Club, Second Sole, Pocket Size Events, Team RWB, Atwood Lake Boats, Furey Chrysler Dodge, General RV, Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, Carroll County CVB, Willandale Golf Cart Sales, Brimstone Bicycles, Appalachian Outfitters and Yuengling Brewery for their assistance.
