Metahqua 24

Event overview

Metahqua 24 is a trail running event in Chillicothe, OH, offering several race formats on a roughly 2-mile loop course. The event includes multiple distance and format options and adds a 100-mile solo option for this edition. Registration closes on Mon, Jun 1.

Distances and formats:

• 100 mile solo (32-hour limit)
• 24 hour solo
• 24 hour 4-person relay
• 10k (three laps)
• Youth 2-miler (single loop)

A new rule specifies that the 24-hour race ends at 24 hours; competitors may not continue past that time to pursue the 24-hour buckle. Participants who complete 100 miles within 24 hours are still eligible for the 100-mile buckle.

Course

The loop measures about 2 miles and mixes single-track and grass trails. The loop layout is approximately:

• 0.7 mile uphill (about 200 feet of gain)
• 0.7 mile downhill (about 200 feet of loss)
• 0.6 mile flat

The organizer describes the trails as run-able and well groomed.
