Day of Event Information:

Check in begins at 8:00 a.m.

Route Options: The Akron site has a new route! The route is 1.25 miles and you have the option to loop the route twice if you prefer a longer walk. The route goes through the grounds of Blossom instead of the parking lot - providing a much better view. The route is still fully accessible.
