Just over 128 years ago, 24-year-old Ceely Rose poisoned her mother, father, and brother with arsenic. All three perished. After she confessed, she was sent away to the Toledo Asylum and then to the Lima State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, where she lived her final days until age 61. She was buried on the hospital grounds, but many say her ghost remains at Malabar Farm.
Are you brave enough to run 12 hours past Ceely’s home and through portions of Malabar Farm? Don’t let the peacefulness of the setting distract you…..Ceely could be right around the corner!
The course is approximately 2.25 miles of pavement, gravel, and grass. You will have 12 hours to complete as many laps as you can. It is a beautiful place to run, but you won’t be able to see the beauty in the dark, you will need to bring headlamps. As portions of the race are on the road, you will also need reflective/fiber gear.
We will provide an aid station along with porta pots at the start/finish line! You are encouraged also to bring gear to provide your aid (12 hours is a long time). The top three overall winners recognized. You will also get a long-sleeved T, and hopefully a ghost story, to commemorate this event!
