Event Overview
Operation Buckeye is a physical endurance event scheduled for April 2026 in Brecksville, Ohio. Organized by Green Beret Fitness, the event takes place at 8263 Chippewa Road. Participants navigate a course designed to test stamina through a combination of distance and weighted carries.
Distances and Load Requirements
The event features a standard distance with multiple categories based on the weight load carried by the participant. The course covers a total distance of 13 miles with a total elevation gain of 978 feet. There are three distinct participation categories available:
- Operation BUCKEYE LIGHT: Participants carry a dry load of 10 lbs.
- Operation BUCKEYE: Participants carry a dry load of 25 lbs.
- Operation BUCKEYE HEAVY: Participants carry a dry load of 50 lbs.
The weight requirements refer to the "dry" load, meaning the weight of the gear or ruck excludes water and consumables.
