About the Barber Classic / Jeep Davis 5K and Fun Run
The course starts at a historic piggery building and heads down to the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath, then turns around and comes back. The towpath section is flat and open, with the canal alongside. It is a road and path race with one clear direction: out, then home.
Packet pickup is available the evening before at the piggery, with race-morning pickup as well. After you finish, there are snacks and water, and inside the piggery building you will find historical photos of the original farm and memorabilia on display, with members of the local historical society there to talk about the area.
