Black Toe Run - The Pursuit of Congelatio
The Black Toe Run is an endurance trail event on January 30, 2027 at Hardin Farm in Watertown, Tennessee, organized by HardWin Adventures. The event is built around repeated laps on a rugged trail loop of approximately 5 miles with about 1,000 feet of elevation gain per lap. Participants aim to complete as many laps as possible within each event duration.
Event formats include:
- 12 hour individual or relay teams of 2 or 4 runners
- 24 hour individual or relay teams of 2 or 4 runners
- 48 hour solo option
Relay and safety rules require one runner per team on course at a time and lap times must be recorded on the event board. Each team member must complete at least one lap every 12 hours unless injured. A 15 minute grace period is applied at the finish with mile deductions for later returns; littering on the course can lead to disqualification. Organizers may cancel the event for extreme weather and may determine final results based on placements at a designated call time.
A rucking division is offered with weight requirements of 20 lb dry for participants over 150 lb and 10 lb dry for those under 150 lb; weigh-ins occur 30 minutes before the race start and random checks may be performed. Special awards include a custom beer stein for completing 50 miles in 12 hours and a statue or a $2,000 option for the first person to reach 100 miles in 24 hours.
