Brecksville, OH
Entry is $70 now and rises to $80 after May 27, 2027, so registering before then saves $10.
The course runs point to point through national park trails, starting at one trailhead and finishing at another. The terrain is what you'd expect from a longtime Buckeye Trail route: rooted singletrack, wooded and rolling, with no pavement to speak of. The shorter option covers the same ground as the longer race, just without doubling back.

The Buckeye Trail has been held every year since at least 1993. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Almost certainly not. Half the 50K field finished slower than 7:02:59, and the last recorded finisher came in around 9:52:03, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (193 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 50K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 50K winner ran 3:52:33 while the median finisher took 7:02:59. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
