The Holston River Endurance Challenge will take place next to Holston River Brewing Company. This is a tough event but I guarantee that you will have a great time. Run, walk or crawl around a crushed gravel road during one of the hottest days of the year!! If the sun is not your friend, sign up for the night run. Only complete laps will count toward total mileage in each timed event. There will be a course change this year at HREC. Due to recent construction at the campground, the course will be closer to 1 mile in length and the out and backs have been eliminated. The event will still be USATF sanctioned, but will no longer be USATF Certified (but who are we kidding…nobody is setting any world records on this course!!) Headlamps/flashlights will be required to run through the night. Reflective tape and/or glow sticks will be placed along the course to help direct runners at night, as well.
**NEW FOR 2018** 3 Hour on Saturday. 2 options AM and PM run. Choose during registration.
Course/Aid Station
The 1.0 mile course loop is slightly flat with two small climbs each loop. There is minimal elevation gain per lap (It will feel like more elevation as time goes by) and consists of gravel/dirt roads, some grassy areas and a bit of asphalt. The road is wide enough to allow for easy passing. There will be one Aid Station at the end of the loop, near the timing station. This aid station will be like a fully stocked buffet, just ask previous runners! There will be the usual ultra type food/drinks, ie water, electrolyte drink, energy gels, cookies, fruit, potato chips, chocolate, pretzels, pb&j, broth, etc. There will be pancakes, bacon, pizza and Sno-Cones throughout the weekend. The grill will be up and running all weekend. If you have special dietary needs/electrolyte drinks, please plan to bring your own food, but let me know as well. Runners will be allowed to set up personal supplies at their tent site or their car. There will be a bath house with flush toilets and showers near the Aid Station.
