NOTE; This course DOES go across operating railroad tracks. While leprechauns are known for their mischief, we do not purposely schedule train operations during our event. You may get "lucky" and not experience a delay. However, we do want to make it known that you may experience a delay while a train passes, AND we ask that you follow all rules and laws regarding train track crossings while on the course.

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 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.
The course
The course is a mix of streets, bike paths, and sidewalks. A link to the course map is included under the "Additional Race Information" heading below.
Don’t like the course conditions? We don’t care. Just quit.
