8 Hours of Christmas

8 Hours of Christmas

The event in Molena, GA at 506 Thundering Springs Rd is listed as a 50K vertical elimination race held on Dec 19, 2026. The format uses a repeated 4 mile loop that gains 1,000 feet each lap. Each participant has one hour to complete the loop and return to the starting area. Runners who do not complete the loop within that hour are eliminated. This process continues for eight hours. On the final loop the fastest lap determines the race winner.

After each successful loop every runner receives a prize. After the first loop each finisher earns a Christmas ornament and after the second loop each finisher receives a water bottle. Awards for subsequent loops are described as increasing in value through hour eight.

All entrants become Revolution Running members for 2027. Registered runners receive a pair of Revolution Running sweat pants at packet pickup and a 20 percent discount on Revolution Running races in 2027. A 20 percent discount code will be sent with the race email confirmation.

The event offers a full refund up to three months before the race date; after that point no refunds are available. Registration closes on Dec 16 at 11:59 PM ET. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
