Mo Spring

Trail Running in Mohican State Park

The Mo Spring event takes place at Mohican State Park, with all courses beginning and ending at the Mohican State Park Lodge. The routes consist of rugged trails and hills, leading participants through a diverse ecosystem featuring budding trees, spring flowers, ferns, and mosses.

Runners and hikers have the opportunity to pass several landmarks within the park. The course includes views of the Clearfork Gorge, a Registered National Natural Landmark which reaches depths over 300 feet. Other notable points of interest along the trails include an iconic covered bridge, a fire tower, and Lyons Falls. High-elevation areas are surrounded by hemlocks and old-growth white pines.

Available distances include:

• Marathon: 3,757 feet of elevation gain.
• Half Marathon: 1,850 feet of elevation gain.
• 15k: 1,217 feet of elevation gain.

All participants receive a triblend tee and a finisher medal. The marathon and half marathon events are open to hikers. An eight-hour cutoff time applies to all distances. Awards are presented to the top three overall male and female finishers, as well as the top three in five-year age categories ranging from 19 and under to 70 and over. Located in Perrysville, the event offers 2026 race participants a discounted lodging rate at the Mohican Lodge. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
