Note: The ODNR which manages Ohio State Parks has suspended approving special activity permits through May 2021. We remain hopeful that events scheduled after this date will be approved. If the race is cancelled due to inclement weather, trail conditions, or circumstances beyond our control, registrants will be offered a 1 year deferral/race credit toward any WRR event. Entry fees will not be refunded.
THE BOBCAT TRAIL MARATHON is a single loop course with rolling hills and several creek crossings, entirely within Burr Oak State Park. You will explore hiking and bridle trails as well as portions of the Buckeye Trail. The course is approximately 90% trail and 10% asphalt, and it will be well-marked. This marathon will challenge you.
HALF MARATHON will be a point-to-point on the same trails as the Marathon. Hikers welcome for the Half!
LODGING Burr Oak Lodge offers great rooms at reasonable prices. With a restaurant, indoor pool, and plenty of outdoor activities, there is something for your whole crew!
