Event summary
Get ready for an exhilarating challenge at the Ceely Rose Twelve Hour Survival Run, taking place from Saturday, October 18th to Sunday, October 19th, 2025, at the scenic Malabar Farm State Park in Lucas, Richland. This unique event invites both solo runners and teams of up to four to tackle the course, which is approximately 2.25 miles of diverse terrain featuring pavement, gravel, and grass. Runners will have twelve hours to complete as many laps as possible, with the added thrill of navigating the course during the night—so don't forget your headlamps and reflective gear!

With a $60 registration fee for solo participants and a $50 fee per runner for the team relay, this event promises both fun and a touch of history. Awards will be given to the top three finishers, and all who register by October 8, 2025, will receive a long-sleeved t-shirt. Join us for this unforgettable experience, where you'll not only challenge yourself but also support the Malabar Farm Foundation in preserving this landmark. Space is limited, so
