Metahqua 24

Metahqua 24 is a multi-distance trail event held in Chillicothe, Ohio at Walnut Creek Park. The event uses a roughly 2 mile loop trail and offers several race formats and distances.

Distances and formats include:

• 2 mile youth single loop
• 10k three-loop race
• 100 mile solo race with 32 hour limit
• 24 hour solo race as many laps as possible
• 24 hour 4 person relay as many laps as possible

The loop measures about 2 miles and combines single track and grass trails. One section is about 0.7 mile uphill with roughly 200 feet of gain, another is about 0.7 mile downhill with roughly 200 feet of loss, and about 0.6 mile is flat. The trails are described as runable and well groomed.

A rule change notes that the 24 hour race ends at 24 hours and participants may no longer continue past that time. The new 100 mile option carries a 32 hour time limit, and anyone who completes 100 miles within 24 hours will receive a buckle.

Parking at the race site is limited. Offsite parking at Walnut Creek Campground will be used with a shuttle approximately 1.5 miles from the course; a parking fee applies. Each registered runner is allotted a 10x10 tent or crew space, with relay teams sharing one space. RunFluent LLC does not issue refunds but offers deferrals if made within the stated deadline. The event location is 3663 Walnut Creek Rd, Chillicothe, OH 45601. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
