Ohio Endurance Series Event

Image

Ten races. One calendar year. One question: How far can you go?

The Ohio Endurance Series is Western Reserve Racing's long-distance championship. The season opens in January and closes in December, and it spans some of Ohio's best state parks and wildest trail systems — Mohican, Burr Oak, Salt Fork, West Branch, Camp Manatoc, and the Buckeye Trail through Cuyahoga Valley.

This is the long-distance series: 15K is the shortest distance that scores, and the schedule runs all the way up through the marathon, the 50K, and the 8-hour. All of our events are hiker- and walker-friendly, with generous cutoffs and courses built to welcome every pace. Run one event, or chase the whole year and go after Ohio Endurance Athlete of the Year.
