RYR Endurance Race Weekend
The RYR Endurance Race Weekend takes place in Owensboro, Kentucky, featuring a variety of road races held over two days. The event utilizes Horse Fork Creek Park as the start and finish location. The courses consist of multi-loop routes on a flat asphalt greenway, providing participants with views of small lakes and shaded sections.
The following distances are available during the weekend:
- 50K: An ultramarathon measured according to USATF standards.
- 26.2 Miles: A USATF-certified marathon and Boston Qualifier offered on both days.
- 13.1 Miles: A half marathon held on a certified USATF course.
- 6.2 Miles: A 10K race measured according to USATF standards.
- 3.1 Miles: A 5K race measured according to USATF standards.
- 9.3 Miles: A combination entry for both the Saturday 5K and Sunday 10K.
The event structure differs by day. Saturday features the 50K, half marathon, 5K, and a marathon open to a general field of athletes. Sunday's schedule includes the 10K and a competitive marathon. The Sunday marathon is specifically designated for athletes seeking personal bests or Boston Marathon qualification, with limited registration and no other concurrent races on the course during that time.
For all events, nutrition tables are provided for participants to stage their personal hydration and food supplies. The park venue includes amenities such as a playground and soccer fields. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
