About the Nocterra Quitter's Run
The course winds through streets, bike paths, and sidewalks in Powell, starting and finishing outside a brewery's beer garden. The terrain is essentially flat, and the whole setup is built around that beer garden: it is the finish line, the crowd, and the reason to stop early if you feel like it. Several distance options let you decide how much you want to take on.
The race has a firm cutoff by early afternoon, so longer distances mean an early start and no dawdling. An emcee on course will actively try to talk you into quitting. The beer garden is open and waiting no matter when you finish.

The Nocterra Quitter's Run has been held every year since at least 2020. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
