The Relentless Run and Challenge is a timed competitive-style endurance event built for runners and ruck athletes.
You can choose to run it normally (no weight) or ruck style with weight.
Either way you're on the same trail course, pushing yourself and getting after it!!

The Course: One, approximately 5K loop on trails.
Event Options:
5K: One loop. Great for first timers, fast runners, or anyone who wants to send it.
10k: Two loops. The sweet spot- competitive, challenging, and super doable.
Relentless 6-Hour Endurance Challenge: Complete as many 5K loops as possible in 6 hours. This is the long game option: pacing, grit, and staying disciplined when it gets hard. Perfect for anyone who wants to test themself at a longer time domain/distance.
