Night Owl Trail Races

The Night Owl Trail Races, held at Caesar Creek State Park in Waynesville, Ohio, offer a unique nighttime running experience with marathon, half marathon, and 10K distances. The course features beautiful single-track trails around Caesar Creek Lake, combining perimeter loops and woodland paths with rolling hills and some road shoulder running. Runners enjoy a scenic sunset before transitioning to night running, requiring mandatory gear like headlamps and collapsible cups, as the race is cup-free.

The event emphasizes inclusivity, equal awards for women, and provides well-stocked aid stations. Finishers receive glow-in-the-dark owl medals, and the atmosphere is friendly with great company and excellent food. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
