FRESNO — Gabe Rainwater of Fresno completed his 20th consecutive Mohican 100-Mile Trail Run in Loudonville, becoming only the sixth runner in event history to reach that milestone and the youngest to do so.
The Mohican 100 is one of the Midwest’s premier ultramarathons, challenging runners to cover 100 miles of rugged trails through the Mohican State Forest and surrounding area.
Runners must complete the course within 32 hours to earn an official finish and buckle. Two hundred runners started the 2026 challenge but only 87 crossed the finished line.
As a result of reaching 20 career finishes, Rainwater was awarded the coveted 2,000-Mile Buckle.
Rainwater’s streak began in 2006 and has continued uninterrupted for two decades. Over those years, he has navigated extreme heat, mud, storms and the physical and mental challenges. His accomplishment reflects not only endurance and athletic ability, but also consistency and commitment, according to the release.
The Mohican 100, now in its 37th year, is widely regarded as one of Ohio’s premier ultramarathon events and attracts runners from across the country.
