Shawnee Trail Runs

The Shawnee Trail Runs is a challenging ultra marathon event held in West Portsmouth, Ohio, featuring three distances: a 54-mile race, a 50K, and a 13.1-mile run. The courses traverse some of Ohio's most rugged terrain, including the Shawnee State Forest Backpack Trail, with significant elevation gains. The 54-mile route includes a unique section known as "The Dark Side," which takes runners through a remote wilderness area. The event is designed for both seasoned ultra runners and those looking to experience trail running, with the 13.1-mile option catering to a wider range of participants.
