Circle Endurance Event - Ringgold, GA
The Circle Endurance Event is a track based endurance competition held at Ringgold High School. It offers multiple timed events on a turf track where runners complete continuous laps; each completed lap is credited as 0.25 miles for final results. The event is USATF sanctioned.
Distances include:
- 3 Hour
- 6 Hour
- 12 Hour
- 24 Hour
Runners are responsible for their own food and hydration. Volunteers staff an aid station with drinks and snacks, but the event is cup free and participants must bring their own hydration systems. Littering on course can lead to disqualification.
Crew support is allowed every lap from a designated infield area near the start line. Pacers are not permitted unless they are registered participants. Runners may set up a small pit area and small tents are allowed, but no tent stakes may be used on the turf.
Final placements are determined by total laps completed within each time limit. Race officials may evaluate participants and make safety based decisions about continued participation. Courtesy rules ask runners to keep the inside lane clear and run single file to allow safe passing.
Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in each distance, plus masters and grandmasters. Special awards include 50K for 6 hour, 50 miles for 12 hour, and a 100 mile belt buckle for the 24 hour distance. The event is also part of a Chattanooga Ultra Championship series linking this race with two others for cumulative awards.
Nearby lodging options are listed for Ringgold High School, including multiple hotels and a designated small RV and car camping area near the stadium. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
