Run4Water Ultra Festival - Lebanon, TN

Run4Water Ultra Festival is a daylong event hosted by Run4Water, a nonprofit focused on raising awareness and providing solutions for the worldwide water crisis through running events. The festival combines timed ultra-distance races, multiple 5K options, a documentary premiere, vendor booths, and family-friendly activities.

Distances and formats include:

• 24-hour timed event
• 12-hour timed event
• 6-hour timed event
• 3-hour timed event
• Multiple 5K options
• 84-minute race dedicated to 84 Days

Racing takes place on a half-mile looped course. The inner lane is USATF certified (TN17001BW) at approximately 0.50849 miles (about 818 meters). The course is paved blacktop, described as smooth with no sharp turns, no U-turns, and very little elevation change. The layout has been used previously for attempts to qualify for USA 24-hour and 100k national team events.

A main sponsored aid station is located at the start/finish area and offers water, electrolytes, classic ultra snacks, and hot food throughout the day. Participants may set up personal supplies and crew support in a designated 10x10 tent space along the back side of the course; tents or vehicles can be accessed on each loop without leaving the course. There are no bathrooms directly on the course, but indoor restrooms inside the nearby school are about 25 meters off course and available to runners.

84 Days is a faith-based nonprofit focused on feminine hygiene education and sustainable solutions for period poverty. A special 84-minute race highlights the organization; an optional add-on includes a race tee and recognition band, with $34 from each add-on directed to 84 Days.

Awards information will be updated; overall winners in each race are expected to qualify for awards. The race site is about 20 minutes from Nashville International Airport and is close to hotels, restaurants, and supplies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
