About the race
The Conquer the Wall Endurance Challenge is a long-distance running event held in Williamson, West Virginia. The event takes place on a 2.05-mile loop course that is flat and paved. The route follows the West Williamson flood wall and passes through the campus of Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College. Participants run through small subdivisions and neighborhoods alongside local traffic.
The event features two primary duration options: 47 hours and 35 hours. Participants can compete as individuals or in relay teams of two or three people. For the 35-hour event, runners may choose between two different start days. Additionally, a rucking division is available where participants carry a 25 lb rucksack, which is weighed at regular six-hour intervals.
The course direction is reversed once a participant reaches 50 miles. Timing is tracked using ankle bracelets that must be worn at all times. The organizers provide a fully stocked aid station with water, electrolyte drinks, and a variety of hot and cold food options. On-site lodging is available inside the college technical center for a limited number of participants, and outdoor camping is permitted along the course and behind the flood wall.
