Description

Are you a quitter?

Probably not. But our job is to get in your head and yours is to keep running. Don't quit.

Nocterra Brewing and Columbus Running Company invite you to take on the toughest running event in all of Powell, Ohio. Sure there are only 26 feet of climbing per lap, but our emcee will be giving you tons of other reasons to stop. Get thirsty? Quit and have a beer. Stopped by a train? Turn around and head to the beer garden. Very slightly fatigued and not quite feelin’ it? Beer! The course starts and ends outside Nocterra’s beer garden. We have distances from 1/8th-marathon to 6-hour ultra and we encourage you to sign up for the distance that will push you to your limits. How many laps can you handle on our 3.2-mile course? Leaning towards one of the longer distance races? Our marathon and ultra-marathon events have quickly become two of the most unique and competitive events in the Central Ohio area. Check our results page to see how you would stack up against runners from recent years!

Please note: all participants must complete their event by 1 PM. Any starter not finished by 1 PM will be designated a "Quitter". This means that the ultra-marathon has a 6-hour time limit, the marathon has a 5-hour time limit, the 1/2-marathon has a 3-hour time limit, the 1/4-marathon has a 2-hour time limit, and the 1/8-marathon has a 1-hour time limit. There is no early start option for any event, and no new laps can begin after 12:35 PM. Please see our additional race information section for all updated rules and time schedules for this year.

Pick your challenge

Should you take on your first marathon with a support team cheering you on in the beer garden? Or, just one lap and then a beer? Ultra-minded? See how many laps you can complete in under 6 hours. You can even quit at the start line! No matter what, there’s a beer for you when you’re done.

What do you get for finishing? A 16 oz. finishers mug full of Nocterra beer with $5.50 refills of the official race day beer. However, if you QUIT you get a much BIGGER 20 oz. QUITTER’S MUG that says “I Quit” in big letters, with $4.50 refills of the official race day beer.

This race is all about the afterparty! Invite your friends & family to cheer you on from the beer garden during the race then hang out with them afterward.

Also included is a high-quality, one-of-a-kind Quitter's Run t-shirt (while supplies last). All shirts and shirt sizes are guaranteed to those who sign up by July 11. Shirts and shirt sizes are subject to availability for those who sign up on July 12 or later. Any shirt sizes that are currently sold out will be listed as such within the registration process on July 12 and afterwards.

The course is a mix of streets, bike paths, and sidewalks.

Don’t like the course conditions? We don’t care. Just quit.
