RYR Endurance Race Weekend

Western Kentucky's Multi-Race Event

Welcome to the 1st Annual RYR Endurance Race Weekend.  The weekend will host a series of races including a competitive marathon for those striving to qualify for races such as Boston, a casual marathon with a generous time limit (9 hours), a half marathon, a 10K, and a 5K.  We have a race for everyone.  We are excited to provide the first certified marathon and half marathon courses in the area.  If you are looking to Boston qualify or improve your corral positioning for a future race, here's your opportunity.  Every participant will receive an awesome shirt.  All finishers will receive a large stylish medal.  This race will be unique in many ways to give you an awesome endurance event experience.

Looped Course: Each race follows a multi-loop out-and-back course on a fast, asphalt greenway with minimal elevation change.

Self-Fueling: Tables will be available for participants to organize their own hydration and nutrition supplies, catering to their personal needs.  Supported aid stations providing nutrition and hydration will be available on the course also.

Spectator Friendly: Friends and family have the opportunity to frequently see athletes pass from a single location.

Scenic:  The course runs along a creek, beside two lakes and is lined with trees.
