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!

Organiser's 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 - The NOCTERRA QUITTER'S RUN PRESENTED BY BROOKS. 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 Nocterras 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 [https://runsignup.com/quittersrun/results] to see how you would stack up against runners from recent years!
