Confirmed from Akron Bike and Hike Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews.

There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
