How fast is it?
Slower than most US trail 10-mile races
The fastest quarter of the 2026 10-mile race field finished under 2:11:51, against 1:39:05 in a typical US trail 10-mile race, so times here run 33 percent slower.
- 50K: Faster than most Ohio trail 50Ks. The fastest quarter of the 2024 50K field finished under 5:43:13, against 6:15:17 in a typical Ohio trail 50K, so times here run 9 percent faster.
Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.
Typical race-day weather
Around June 12 the day usually runs from 60°F at dawn to 80°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 45% of days. Cold snaps dip to 52°F and hot years reach 88°F.
Based on 75 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
