Black Toe Run - The Pursuit of Congelatio
The Black Toe Run is an endurance event held on a rugged trail loop at Hardin Farm in Watertown, Tennessee. It offers multi-hour formats for individuals and relay teams on a roughly 5 mile trail loop with about 1,000 feet of elevation gain per lap. The objective is to complete as many laps as possible within the chosen time window. Relay teams consist of two or four runners; individual athletes may compete solo.
- 12 hour individual and relay options
- 24 hour individual and relay options
- 48 hour solo option
Race rules require only one runner per team on the course at a time and rely on participants to mark their return times on a board. Each team member must complete at least one lap every 12 hours unless injured. Runners are responsible for their own warmth, shelter, and winter survival gear. Crew support is allowed from a designated area at the Big Barn; crew are not permitted on the course. Littering may lead to disqualification. Organizers may cancel the event for extreme weather and will determine final results based on last completed laps if needed.
A rucking division is offered with weight requirements: over 150 lb carry 20 lb dry weight, under 150 lb carry 10 lb dry weight. Weigh-ins are required before the race and random checks may occur. Awards include gendered prizes for many categories and special prizes for milestone distances. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
