Black Toe Run - The Pursuit of Congelatio
The Black Toe Run is an endurance trail event at Hardin Farm in Watertown, Tennessee, organized by HardWin Adventures. It is offered as 12 hour, 24 hour, and 48 hour formats for individuals and relay teams of two or four. The course is a roughly 5 mile trail loop with about 1,000 feet of elevation gain per lap. The objective for each participant or team is to complete as many loops as possible within the chosen time limit.
Race procedures include an honor based lap tracking system where runners mark their time on a board after each lap. Only one team member may be on the course at a time and each team member must complete at least one lap every 12 hours unless injured. Crews may support runners from a designated area at the Big Barn and are not permitted on the course. Solo runners in the longer formats may have a support person join them after the first half of the event. A 15 minute grace period applies at the finish, after which miles are deducted in 15 minute increments.
The event includes a rucking division with mandatory packed weight requirements, specific weight types, and weigh ins before the race. Special awards and rules address course conduct, weather cancellation, safety evaluations by race officials, and penalties for littering.
