Tar hollow HILLS: 145 feet of elevation per mile on south loop of Logan Trail

Not quite up to the levels of Great Seal State Park (185 ft per mile) but up there with Mohican and Zaleski.  For me, it is the hills that make trail running fun.  It gives the variety in terrain and difficulty that keeps things interesting.  I would not run if it was just a road or flat asphalt trail - or worse yet a treadmill every time.  Of course those are all important parts of a training program.  it is hard to build speed with just hills but it sure build strength.

Where are the MOST HILLS in Central Ohio: Elevation Change per Mile - Trails in Central Ohio

Which trail in Central Ohio has the most hills per mile?  Well by my Garmin it looks like the winner is:  Great Seal State Park in Chillicothe -  185 ft / mile.  Close behind are Mohican, Zaleski and Clear Creek.  How do the local metro parks stack up?  Highbanks, Darby creek, Prairie Oaks, Hunters Hollow, Winterhawk, Tunnel trail, and Alum Creek do NOT measure up.   Although they are all terrific places to run. If you want to run hills you need to go to one of the top 5.
