Buckeye Moon Trail Runs

The Buckeye Moon Trail Runs take place Saturday evening, August 8, 2026, near Lewis Center, Ohio at the Alum Creek Reservoir area. The event uses a loop trail of 4.1 miles per lap on a moderately rolling, wide-track trail that runs alongside the reservoir. The course will be marked with small LED lights for night navigation.

Distances offered:

  • 7K : 1 loop
  • 13K : 2 loops
  • 20K : 3 loops
  • 26K : 4 loops

Participants must wear a headlamp or running light for the night run. The event lists the Amphipod Versa-Light Max USB as the official headlamp recommendation, but any headlamp may be used.

Check-in is located at the Start/Finish area just south of the trail entrance at the Boat Launch area. Parking is available at the Galena Boat Ramp off Africa Road; participants are asked to park in designated areas and not in the grass or along the road.

All finishers receive a commemorative finisher amenity. The top three overall male and female finishers for each distance will receive an award. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
