The Eagle Up Ultra will take place on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at 6:00 AM at St. Helena Park in historic downtown Canal Fulton, OH. This event features a 24 hour timed ultra (unofficially the world's largest 24 hour ultra), a 25 km distance, and relay team options. The course is a 5 mile loop on packed crushed limestone (except a short cut‑grass section through the camping area), starting in St. Helena Park, running south on the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath to Butterbridge Road, then returning on the Olde Muskingum Trail.
