Black Toe Run : The Pursuit of Congelatio
The Black Toe Run is an endurance event held at Hardin Farm in Watertown, Tennessee. It is offered as 12-hour, 24-hour, and 48-hour formats for individual competitors and for relay teams of two or four. The course is a rugged trail loop of about five miles with roughly 1,000 feet of elevation gain per lap; organizers plan a small trail addition to bring the loop to exactly five miles.
Results are based on the number of completed laps within the allotted time. Relay teams must keep one runner on the course at a time and record each lap on a central board. Each team member is expected to complete at least one lap every 12 hours unless injured. Solo runners and teams may have crew support in a designated area at the Big Barn; crew are not permitted on the course.
Special recognitions include a custom beer stein for anyone who completes 50 miles in 12 hours, and a reward for the first person to reach 100 miles in 24 hours, either a statue or a $2,000 prize. A rucking division is available with required carried weights based on body mass and mandatory weigh-ins before the event. Organizers may cancel for extreme weather; race officials may evaluate participant safety and remove competitors if needed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
