Autumn Squatch 10K, 20K & 50K 2026

Autumn Squatch is a late-autumn trail race held at Alum Creek State Park in Orange, Ohio. It offers 10K, 20K, and 50K distances, all beginning at 8 a.m. The Rocks and Roots Trail serves all three courses, with the start located off Hollenback Road, south of the dog park near Lewis Center. The race embraces its Bigfoot theme: hundreds of participants, including runners, hikers, volunteers, and Bigfoot fans, enter the woods annually in search of the Autumn Squatch, whose legend began in fall 2012. The narrative suggests he frequents the Rocks and Roots Trail on late autumn evenings during his journey south for winter. Participants completing the race receive a shirt and medal; registration frequently closes a few weeks prior to the event.
