Leave No Trace Trail Race

The Leave No Trace Trail Race takes place at Camp Manatoc, located on a high plateau in Peninsula, Ohio. This event provides a rare opportunity to access tracks that are typically closed to the public and reserved for the Boy Scout camp. Participants navigate a course that consists primarily of single-track trails through wooded areas.

The event offers three distinct distances:

Half Marathon (13.1 Miles)
15k
5k

The terrain is characterized as technical, offering a variety of natural features within the camp grounds. A unique aspect of this event is the special permission granted to participants to run or hike with their dogs, which is not usually permitted on these specific trails. Registration for the various distances opens in late 2025 and concludes in August 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
