The Get Lucky 50/50, hosted by Race Brimstone, invites runners to Canal Fulton, OH, on March 21, 2026, for a unique ultrarunning experience. Offering distances of 50 miles, 50 kilometers, and a 25-kilometer option, this race unfolds along the scenic Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail. Starting and finishing at St. Helena Park in historic downtown Canal Fulton, runners can expect a generally flat course, although some sections may include a mix of fine gravel, traditional gravel, mud, puddles, and pavement. The out-and-back format sees 25K runners turning around near Massillon, 50K participants heading to Navarre, and 50-mile contenders journeying to Bolivar before returning.

What sets the Get Lucky 50/50 apart is its namesake 50/50 drawing: $10 from each entry is pooled, with half benefiting Whispering Grace Horse Farm/Freedom Farm, which provides equine therapy to veterans, and the other half awarded to one fortunate runner. Race Brimstone, known for organizing high-quality events by runners for runners, ensures well-supplied aid stations approximately every 5 to 7 miles, some offering crew access and even a drop bag location for 50-mile participants at the 25-mile turnaround. Finishers receive a medal, a swag bag, and a long-sleeve tech t-shirt, celebrating their accomplishment. With a generous 14-hour cutoff time across all distances, runners have ample opportunity to reach the finish line. Typical race day conditions in March involve highs around 52°F and lows around 31°F, with a 16% chance of precipitation.

Runners frequently praise the Get Lucky 50/50 for its excellent organization and supportive volunteers. While the flat towpath offers a fast course, some participants have noted the mental challenge of its repetitive nature. Nevertheless, the journey provides a profound sense of accomplishment, often accompanied by unexpected post-race perks. Whether you're chasing a new personal best or tackling your first ultra, the Get Lucky 50/50 promises a well-supported and memorable experience.
