The Barbecue Bash Quarters is the highly anticipated grand finale of Obatron Racing's "West of the River Series," culminating a season of unique running challenges. Held in November, this walker-friendly and "diet-sensitive" event offers runners unparalleled flexibility, allowing them to choose their ideal marathon distance by completing 1, 2, 3, or all 4 quarters of a marathon (equivalent to 6.55 miles, 13.1 miles for a half, 19.65 miles, or a full 26.2 miles). The race is renowned for its generous 7-hour cutoff time, accommodating participants of all paces and ensuring that even if you don't hit your initial distance goal, you'll still earn a medal for the quarters you successfully complete. After crossing the finish line, runners are treated to a well-deserved feast of barbecue goodies, often including pulled pork, chicken, and vegetarian options, making for a truly satisfying and celebratory end to the series.
