This trail is 2.9 miles long and goes from downtown Zanesville along the Muskingum River and the railroad tracks and connects to Riverside Park along State Route 666.  Go to photo album to view more photos.  The park can be busy at times with folks walking dogs, skaters, skateboarders, bicyclists, moms with strollers and at other times it can be quite empty.

I walk here all the time and enjoy it very much. Have never had any problems here, but still prefer to walk with a companion, as most of the trail is isolated.  It is pretty and flat and an easy walk.

Cooling Down after a long race.  On the way into Dresden.

This little person is getting a good introduction to running from his dad.  Train up a child.

10 K Walk Run May the World Dance

Times Recorder Article on 10 K race.

This weekends race seemed profession in every way.  From the publicity, sponsorships, prizes, organizations, guest appearances, award ceremonies to the logistics.  This was a fine race.  The only suggestion I have to make it much better, is next time set up the finish line so that the spectators can gather there.  I would have like to have seen the finish line for some snapshots. I was able to get a snapshot of this participant as he was entering into Dresden.

Help me lose some fudge!

Walking off pounds is a great way to get in shape.  I am going to start tomorrow, right after the big buffet tonight.

This lilac bush close to the gazebo smells delightful.  Lilacs usually bloom in late may and early June.

Here is a another flower bush that is planted by the gazebo.  I should know the name of it but can't recall right now.  I love the lighting in this picture.

I took the pictures of these wildflowers along the Gorsuch Trail in late may.  They make me happy looking at them.
