ELIGIBILITY: DUE TO THE POSSIBLE EXTREME HOT WEATHER ON A TYPICAL JULY SUMMER MONTH AND THE DISTANCE WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU HAVE COMPLETED AT A MINIMUM AN ULTRA DISTANCE (50K or higher) OR AT LEAST 2 FULL MARATHONS TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS RUN FOR YOUR SAFETY.
*****LIMITED TO 50 PARTICIPANTS******
Each Hardin-Meade Endurance Run participant will register using ULTRASIGNUP and minimum qualifications will be verified to confirm participation. For 2024 we will have three starting waves (6, 6:30 and 7am) based on your average road marathon finish time. (We will determine your start time based on your validated submitted time). Due to UltraSignup not currently hosting free events we will have a $15 registration option to cover the cost of a run logo shirt for any runner that selects this option. There will also be a free “no shirt” option available as well. On the morning of the run we will have a cash donation option for those interested as we plan to have some finish line refreshments and possibly grill burgers and hotdogs for all finishers and crew members.
