Bobcat Trail Marathon & Half Marathon

The Bobcat Trail Marathon is a single loop course with rolling hills entirely within Burr Oak State Park, including hiking and bridle trails as well as portions of the Buckeye Trail. Approximately 90% trail and 10% asphalt. This is sure to be a marathon that will challenge you. Course will be well-marked with several creek crossings and will have well-stocked aid stations featuring Tailwind. Join us in the lodge after the race for a party with Jackie O’s Brewery! Discuss your epic accomplishment with fellow Bobcats at the Lodge bar after the race.
HALF MARATHON distance will be on the same trails as the Marathon – check out the point-to-point course map on the website. Hikers are welcome in the Bobcat Half Marathon! You love hiking – why not try a supported 13-mile hike? With a generous 7.5 hour cut off time, hikers can enjoy the course at their own pace. Aid stations will stock water, soda, Hammer HEED, Gels, and Endurolytes, chips, pretzels, cookies, PB&J, pickles, bananas, and other misc. items. All participants are strongly encouraged to carry a water bottle.
