The 34th annual Mohican Trail Run will take place June 3-4 at the Mohican-Memorial State Forest.

The Mohican Trail 100 Mile Run is one of the nation’s top ultramarathons. The MO100, which hosted the first USATF Ultra Running Championships in 2005, is one of the oldest ultra-running races in the United States. The 95% trail course winds its way through the 5,000-acre Mohican Forest.

For those who don’t want to run 100 miles, a 50-mile race and a marathon race also will take place.

The races will all begin June 3 with the 100-mile run starting at 5 a.m., the 50-mile run beginning at 6 a.m. and the marathon starting at 8 a.m. Each of the races will start at Mohican State Park and finish at the pavilion at Mohican Adventures.

Those who want to participate in any of the races can register online at www.runreg.com/mohicantrailrun. Online registration will end June 1 at 9 p.m.

Once online registration ends, competitors in the 100- and 50-mile races can still register in person at the packet pickup at Mohican Adventures on June 2. Marathon racers can register in person up until the day of the race on June 3, starting at 6 a.m. The registration costs are $250 for the 100-mile race, $175 for the 50-mile race and $125 for the marathon.

Cash awards will be given to the men’s and women’s top five overall finishers in each of the three races. Prizes also will be given to those who finish any of the three races.

All Mohican finishing results will be submitted to Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc for inclusion in its runners index. The Mohican 100 will qualify runners for UTMB world series 100-mile events, the Mohican 50 for UTMB world series 100k events and the Mohican marathon for UTMB world series 50k events. Competitors earn running stones at the world series events, which will then be used for the UTMB race held in France in August 2023 and in the future.

Any Mohican 100 runner who finishes the race within the time limit qualifies to apply for the 2024 Western States 100 lottery, which will be held in December 2023.
