Black Toe Run
Watertown, United States • 30 Jan 2027
Black Toe Run - The pursuit of Congelatio
The Black Toe Run is an endurance trail event held at Hardin Farm in Watertown, Tennessee. The event takes place on a rugged looped trail that is currently about 5 miles per lap with roughly 1,000 feet of elevation gain per lap. Organizers plan to add a small new section of trail to bring the loop to exactly 5 miles.
Participants may enter as individuals or as relay teams. Relay teams are composed of two or four runners. One runner per team may be on course at any time, and each runner must record their lap time on the event board. Littering on the course can result in disqualification.
Distances and formats:
- 12-hour individual and 2- or 4-person relay options
- 24-hour individual and 2- or 4-person relay options
- 48-hour solo event intended for experienced athletes
A rucking division is offered for each race. Weight requirements are 20 lb dry weight for participants over 150 lb and 10 lb dry weight for participants under 150 lb. Weigh-ins occur before the race start; weight must remain for the event and may be checked.
Awards include a custom beer stein for completing 50 miles in 12 hours and a special prize or cash for the first person to reach 100 miles in 24 hours. Runners are responsible for their own warmth, shelter, and winter survival; officials may evaluate participants for safety and remove them if needed.
