Chippewa Creek Challenge 2026

The Chippewa Creek Challenge is an autumn trail half marathon held in Brecksville Reservation, a part of Cleveland Metroparks in Ohio. It is included in the Dirty Trail Series and accommodates hikers and trail runners, even those new to this type of course. The route features varied terrain and elevation, with steep climbs and winding paths through the reservation. Participants who finish get a medal and a triblend t-shirt. The race logo references the Spotted, Redback, and Jefferson salamanders native to the Chippewa Creek area, which migrate to vernal breeding pools in the spring.
