Run4Water Ultra Festival
The Run4Water Ultra Festival is an endurance-focused event hosted in Lebanon, Tennessee, by a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing the global water crisis. The event takes place on a USATF certified and sanctioned course measuring 0.50849 miles (818.3369 meters). This blacktop paved loop is designed with minimal elevation changes and no sharp turns or u-turns to facilitate fast times.
Participants can choose from a variety of race formats and distances:
- 24 hour timed event
- 12 hour timed event
- 6 hour timed event
- 3 hour timed event
- 84 minute race dedicated to feminine hygiene education
- Multiple 5K options
A primary aid station is located at the start and finish line, providing water, electrolytes, snacks, and hot food. Because of the short loop format, athletes pass this station every half mile. Runners also have the option to self-aid by setting up personal supplies in designated 10x10 tent spaces located along the back side of the course. Indoor restrooms are accessible within a nearby school building, approximately 25 meters from the track.
Beyond the races, the festival includes vendor booths and family activities. The event concludes with guest speakers and the premiere of a short documentary titled Woven for Water. The venue is located approximately 20 minutes from Nashville International Airport. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
