Lace up your sneakers for some seriously cool scenery during the Towpath Ten-Ten. Part of the Towpath Trilogy series, the June 16 race takes runners on their choice of a 10K run or 10-mile trek through the Cleveland Metroparks’ Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation along the Towpath Trail. “Runners run under train tracks and through historic bridges, as well as across two unique suspension bridges,” says Kathy Cole, programs manager for Canalway Partners. “People describe it as an industry meets nature experience.” 4524 E. 49th St., Cleveland, towpathtrilogy.com
