Course

Distance: 10 Kilometers (6.2 Miles)

Terrain: 100% Trail

Prepare for a challenging but rewarding run through the beautiful Gatewood Trails system. This 10K route is built for true trail runners, featuring the classic, rugged Appalachian foothills terrain that makes the area famous.

Runners will navigate a dynamic course characterized by:

• Rolling Hills: Expect a steady challenge with frequent, yet manageable, ups and downs that will test your legs and endurance.

• Winding Single-Track: The path is primarily packed dirt and single-track, which will require attentive footing.

The course will be clearly marked with high-visibility flagging and tape. 

Aid Station: There will be one aid station about halfway on the course. We are excited to share with you that Tailwind Nutrition will be the official sponsor for fueling on and off the trail! There will be Tailwind Endurance fuel available at the aid station and finish line for you!

Charity Information

The Gatewood Midwinter 10K is more than just a challenging race; it's a vital fundraiser dedicated to supporting the Gallia Academy indoor track team and the future student-athletes in our community. Every stride you take on the Gatewood Trails helps us cross our finish line: raising funds for essential team needs.

Your registration fee will directly fund the team's ability to compete this season by providing new, high-quality uniforms, ensuring the athletes feel confident and united, and covering crucial travel and competition expenses, including the costs of transport, lodging, and entry fees for competitive indoor meets. 

By tackling the cold and the hills of the Gatewood Midwinter 10K, you are investing directly in the dedication, discipline, and dreams of young local athletes. Thank you for helping us give our team the resources they need to succeed this indoor season!
