Buckeye Sun & Moon Trail Runs — One Trail. Two Worlds. Your Adventure!

August 21, 2027 | Alum Creek State Park | Central Ohio

Two races. Two completely different experiences. One unforgettable trail adventure!

HFP Racing is excited to introduce the Buckeye Sun & Moon Trail Runs, a unique trail running experience that takes athletes from the beauty of daylight to the excitement of running beneath the night sky!

Whether you’re chasing sunshine or embracing the challenge of running by headlamp, the Buckeye Sun & Moon Trail Runs offer something for everyone — from first-time trail runners to seasoned endurance athletes.

Buckeye Sun Trail Run — Chase the Day!

Experience the natural beauty of Alum Creek State Park as you navigate wooded singletrack, scenic lake views, and winding trails. Enjoy the energy of a daytime trail adventure while challenging yourself at your own pace.

Buckeye Moon Trail Run — Own the Night!

When the sun goes down, the adventure takes on a whole new personality! Grab your headlamp and experience the thrill of nighttime trail running as you navigate the same scenic course beneath the stars. It’s an entirely different experience — and one you won’t soon forget!

Four Distances. Your Adventure.

Both events feature four distance options on an approximately 4.167-mile trail loop:

  • 7K — 1 Loop
  • 13K — 2 Loops
  • 20K — 3 Loops
  • 26K — 4 Loops

The course features relatively flat terrain, wooded singletrack, fire roads, and natural-surface trails, making it accessible for newcomers while offering plenty of challenge for experienced runners.

Why Choose Just One?

Run the Buckeye Sun, take on the Buckeye Moon, or make it a full day of adventure by experiencing both! Same trail, completely different atmosphere.

Your Trail. Your Distance. Your Adventure.
