Description

Added by John Clairmont

Face off in a race against friends in this small loop of ten obstacle stations.

This quarter mile course is perfect for those looking for athletic competition, fun challenges, or ninja training. It is located adjacent to the parking lots in the main area of Glacier Ridge Metro Park, so there will always be plenty of parking for your group. There are water fountains at the beginning of the loop, and bathrooms just a short walk across the parking lot. Instructions for each obstacle are posted at the beginning of the loop as well, and I recommend reviewing them before starting so you know what to do at each point.

If you want additional competition, post your completion time in your review and check back each year to see if you're the current leader!

Above all else: stay safe, have fun, and adventure on!

Run the Ironweed Trail in Glacier Ridge Metro Park

From the main entrance on the north side of the park, the Ironweed Trail connects the northern, more wooded section of the park with the wetlands to the south. This 2.8 mile one-way trail is paved, making cycling, running, and hiking an easy activity. The topography of the park also makes it easy, as very little elevation change occurs, aside from a slight hill that represents the remnants of t...

Photograph Indian Run Falls

Indian Run Falls is a family friendly destination for the metro lifestyle. Sitting just outside downtown Dublin, the falls are easily accessible from the nearby parking lot, with the roar of the fall audible as soon as you get out of your car. For those seeking a hike, there is a 1/2 mile trail that leads to SR 745 near the Scioto River following the top of the cliffs that Indian Run carves.Be ...

Photograph Hayden Run Falls

A great evening getaway while in Columbus, Hayden Run Falls is easy to access. The path to the falls is a well-maintained boardwalk above the floodplain of the Scioto River, just a little over a 0.1 mile in length. The boardwalk takes you right up to the very foot of the 35 foot tall waterfall, and on most days the spray from the falls coats the deck (and you if you get too close!)There is also...

Hike the Overlook-Dripping Rock Loop

Starting at the nature center near the entrance of the park, the 2.5 mile long Dripping Rock Trail heads off in two directions, to the south and to the west. Either way will take you back to the nature center at the end of the day. Going west takes you past an observation deck and then along a deep ravine before it swings south, while the southern approach crosses the road and after 0.3 of a mi...

Hike the Mudsock Trail

This trail begins at a dog park and meanders alongside farm fields and creeks. Stay to the right at the first fork to begin the Mudsock Trail. The second fork in the trail results in a loop that meets up with itself and continues on. Depending on the amount of plant growth/season, there is a trail that cuts from one side of the loop to the other. This trail crosses Roberts Road and there are cr...

Fly Fish Big Darby Creek at Prairie Oaks Metro Park

The Big Darby Creek is just one of four National Scenic Rivers in Ohio. Exploring and fly fishing for smallmouth bass, rock bass, or panfish is just one way for you to experience the river near the Prairie Oaks Metro Park. Located within a thirty-minute drive from downtown Columbus, the Prairie Oaks Metro Park offers hiking trails and a pedestrian bridge along the banks of the Big Darby. Wading...
