Hello runners! Please let me first start out by thanking each of you for deciding to run this race. The volunteers are so excited to have you all come and see the great Mohican State Park. This race has donated over $50,000 including Delaware County Special Olympics the Galion Girls Softball Program, YMCA, Mohican Trails Club, Mohican MT Bike Club, Race 362 and The Rock Foundation as well as helped out a local injured runner.

Race Day

Runners will have packet pick up race day morning starting at 6:00 am.

Cups will be available, but you may not take them from the aid station. Carry a water bottle. Some people do not realize the magnitude of elevation you will be running, and these trails will take it out of you. Hydrate and carry water. Throw ALL Trash in waste containers we have provided. Flags are not trash cans and littering will be a reason you will never run FTPR races ever again. Don’t be that runner.
After Race
There will be showers for runners after the race so bring your shower gear. 

We will once again have food and drink available for all of you runners after the 50k race. (12:00 PM for Drinks) Have a beer or two and be responsible and when gone... gone. So run fast. Stay at a cabin and Don't Drink and Drive! 

The volunteers are working hard on this for you! Tell them thank you.

With a hot tub. HELLO! GROUP UP! They also have smaller cabins. Please check their web site out. It should be noted that the Mohican lodge and Conference Center also has deals for the runners.

Course and Maps


Course Markings: All course marking will be on your left on the direction you are going. Out and back sections markings for return runners will mirror the other and placed on the left as well.

50K Runners will start at 7:30 am and 25k will start at 9:00 am. Trust me you will not get lost it will be well marked, and course marshal's will be out there with signs. This is a trail race so all miles are "ISH" and 25K runners will have more of a 16.6ish... mile course depending on who's GPS you want to believe. None of them will be right. Next year just do the 50K which is our goal.

The course color coded utility flags will be every 1/10th of a mile and every 5 ft at turns.

Bad Weather Lighting Floods
Race Postponement due to extreme rain or lightning will be time delayed or moved to a different date. 50k will first try to be moved two weekends out and then each weekend thereafter until conditions improve. No refunds will be given if you are not able to attend the rescheduled date.

Email me if you have any questions, please contact the race director(s). Mark Carrol or Chad Heald at chadheald@mac.com
