Black Toe Run
The Black Toe Run is an endurance event held at Hardin Farm in Watertown, Tennessee. The event is staged on a rugged trail loop of about 5 miles with roughly 1,000 feet of elevation gain per lap. Competitors attempt to complete as many laps as possible within their chosen time category.
Event formats include:
- 12-hour individual and relay options
- 24-hour individual and relay options
- 48-hour solo option for experienced athletes
Relay teams consist of two or four runners; individual athletes may compete solo. Crew support is allowed from a designated area at the Big Barn but crew members are not permitted on the course. Solo runners in the 24-hour and 48-hour events may receive outside support after the first 12 hours.
Race rules require one runner per team on course at a time and lap times to be recorded on the event board. Runners are responsible for personal warmth, shelter, and winter survival gear. Littering on course can lead to disqualification. At the end of each race there is a short grace period for the final lap followed by mile deductions for lateness.
A rucking division is offered with mandatory weight requirements based on body weight and pre-race weigh-ins. Special awards include a prize or recognition for the first 100-mile finish in 24 hours and a custom stein for 50 miles in 12 hours. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
