Buckeye Ultra 210
Aug 13, 2026
The Buckeye Ultra 200 (formerly the Olde 96er) is an approximately 203-mile out-and-back road race along Ohio Route 45 from Walnut Beach at Lake Erie south to Wellsville and back — under 6,000 feet of gain across flat stretches and about 70 miles of rolling hills through Amish country, post-industrial cities, and lakefront streets. No course markings, no aid stations, no mandatory crew; runners resupply at shops and diners. A 6-day time limit requires roughly 34 miles per day. The men's record is 53:56 (2023) and the women's 58:08 (2022).
