2026 Outdoor X12 Endurance Run & Ruck

THE RACE

The Outdoor Experience 12 Hour Race (affectionately known as the OX12) is produced in collaboration with Five Rivers Metroparks and the Subaru Outdoor Experience.

• 2.7+ mile loop course and flat!
• Finisher Medals for those that travel upon the course for the full 12 hours.
  

THE COURSE

• 4% bike path, 96% grass/trail double track.

ADDITIONAL COURSE INFORMATION

• Course Map
• Course Video
• Official Outdoor Experience Website 

Age group finishes are in the PDF below - please note that the software would not remove the top three overall male and female, even though that's how it was programmed.  The top 3 males were: Seth Moore, Jonathan Dias and Bill Luft.  Top 3 females were: Kayla Rice, Abigail Kamalian and Brooklyn McDonnell.  Anyone in the impacted age groups that contain an overall finisher was bumped up a finish spot.  Thanks for your patience as we troubleshoot these quirks!

Please see the overall results PDF below.  We're working to get them uploaded on the regular "results" tab - for some reason, only the Ruck division will accept the results from our timing software.

The Ohio River Road Runners Club is a 100% all-volunteer 501(c)(3) Ohio Non-Profit club dedicated to promoting running and supporting the local running community in and around Dayton, Ohio. We are one of the largest (and we think BEST) clubs in the nation.

THE RULES
To “finish” you must be on the course throughout the event. You cannot leave the park and return later. This is a time-based event with a goal, not a distance event. You must be on course at 7:00pm!

What is the “course”?  The course includes the roped off area behind the scoring table (the drop bag location), the marked trail, and the restrooms.

You will need a flashlight or headlamp at the start of the race.

T-SHIRT
All registrants will receive a t-shirt if registered by the shirt cutoff date. You must pick up your race packet to receive your shirt. No shirts will be mailed. 

SWEET FINISHER AWARD 1
All finishers that travel upon the course for the full 12 hours will receive our cool finisher award.   

SWEET FINISHER AWARD 2 - Back this year!!!
If you end with a total mileage above 35 miles, you also qualify for an engraved mileage award with your name on it to be collected at a later date. (You must indicate if this is desired so we don’t end up with a bunch of unwanted awards. You are responsible for coordinating pickup, strictly no mailings)

PLACE AWARDS
We will have awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd overall male and female finishers. In case of a tie, the first runner to cross the finish line for their last lap will be awarded the place. 

VOLUNTEERS
Meet some new friends and have a great time while making a valuable contribution to the local running community by volunteering at this event. If you would like to help, please sign up here!

• There is a roped off drop bag area adjacent to the start/finish to change, take a short break, refuel etc.  Leaving the course is not permitted.
