Beast of the East Fork is the best way to kick off another beautiful Cincinnati summer.  It’s a 3-mile obstacle course twisting through the woods and along the water of East Fork State Park; designed to give you, your friends, and your family an experience you’ll never forget. Registration will start at 9:00am with some light snacks for that extra boost of energy.  Race heats will begin at 10:00am, starting with our elite runners and finishing with our recreational runners.

However, the day doesn’t end at the finish line!  Stick around after the race for food (included with your registration), raffle prizes, music, and relaxing by the water as you share stories from your adventures.

The Little Beast course will be constructed on the beach for those animals who aren’t quite ready for the full race (approx. ages 4-10).  Additionally, weather permitting, we’ll have inflatables available for all to enjoy.  Because – let’s be honest- who doesn’t love an adult-sized inflatable?

Because of our generous corporate sponsors, 100% of every registration fee will be donated to support Southeast Cincinnati Young Life’s Camp Scholarship Fund.  These funds go specifically and solely to assisting local adolescents experience Young Life summer camp.

 Southeast Cincinnati Young Life is a youth ministry serving the Forest Hills, West Clermont, New Richmond, and Batavia School Districts. Young Life volunteers invest 100’s of hours every year into building relationships with and mentoring adolescents in our communities.  Learn more about Young Life at ylsec.com and younglife.org.
