Event summary
Get ready for an unforgettable day of fun and challenge at the Nocterra Quitter's Run presented by Brooks, taking place on Sunday, August 23, 2026, in Powell, Delaware. This unique running event invites participants to push their limits with race distances ranging from an exhilarating 1/8th marathon to a grueling 6-hour ultra. The course, a scenic 3.2-mile loop starting and ending at Nocterras beer garden, offers just 26 feet of climbing per lap, making it both accessible and exciting for runners of all levels.
With a playful twist on endurance racing, this event encourages runners to battle not only the course but also the temptation to quit. Whether you're aiming for your first marathon or just planning to enjoy a single lap followed by a refreshing beer, there's something for everyone. Remember, all participants must finish their race by 1 PM, or they'll be humorously labeled a "Quitter." So, lace up your shoes, rally your support crew, and join us for a day filled with camaraderie, competition, and, of course, beer!
