Are you prepared to be alone on the road, potentially in cold, freezing rain, heat, fog, or thunderstorms? Can you handle following a course that isn't marked with flags, streamers, or pie plates? The Buckeye Ultra is a point to point road run from the West Virginia side of the Ohio River in Newell to Walnut Beach park at Lake Erie in Ashtabula. The 210 mile event is an out-and-back road journey from the lake. The finish rate from events combined in 2018 and 2019 is around 58% so it's a challenge even for experienced ultra runners. There are no formal aid stations; roving aid will be available, especially overnight, but runners are expected to be largely self-supported.
Those wanting to run the 100 mile event will need to have completed at least one 50 mile run within the past 12 months, or a 100k run within the past 18 months. The 100 mile begins in Wellsville at the Ohio River on Saturday, September 11th at 0700. The official cutoff is a relaxed 48 hours.
Anyone who wants to run the 210 mile event will need to have completed at least one 100 mile event within the past 18 months, two 100k or longer runs within 18 months, or a road journey of similar distance. The 210 mile event begins Thursday, September 9th at 0700. The cutoff for the 210 is 5 days (120 hours).
