Vernal Equinox 48-24-12-8 Hour Run : Majestic Farm, Batavia, OH
Vernal Equinox is an annual timed trail event held on the grounds of Majestic Farm. The event offers four timed race options and a rucking division:
- 48 Hour
- 24 Hour
- 12 Hour
- 8 Hour
- Ruckers 12 Hour
The course is a 2-mile loop over wooded trails, meadows, and gravel road, with a large barn at the start/finish of each loop. Aid station fuel includes typical ultrarunning foods plus hot items such as soup and grilled cheese, with vegan options available. The race is cupless; participants receive a reusable cup with their packet and paper cups are not provided.
Participants may reserve free clean horse stalls near the start/finish for storage, staging, or napping; stall allocation gives priority to longer-distance runners. RV hookups are available for an additional fee. Custom finisher awards and branded shirts are provided; belt buckles are awarded for reaching 100, 150, and 200 miles in 24 or 48 hour events.
A cash prize is available for new course records on the 24- and 48-hour courses. Part of event proceeds will be donated to Project Congo. The organizer publishes an inclusion statement and offers an Athletes With Disability division with defined entry criteria; the course is not suitable for wheelchairs. Pacers are restricted and allowed only after the shorter events conclude for the longer-duration participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
