About the Bridge 2 Bridge Half Marathon & 5K
The course runs point-to-point from the Harbor-Topky Memorial Library to Bridge Street in Ashtabula Harbor, so there is a real sense of travel to it. The half marathon crosses a railroad and a lift bridge, and both rail and boat traffic have the right of way, meaning a train or a passing vessel can pause your race with no warning and your clock keeps running. Plan for that.
Both races start and pick up packets at the library in the morning before the gun. Parking is at Walnut Beach off West First Street. The half has water stops spread across the out-and-back portion of the course; the 5K does not, so bring your own if you think you will want it.
