Event Overview

This is the inaugural Coal & Coke Fireworks 30/10 Miler, organized by BALS Racing. The event takes place on Saturday, July 11, 2026. It features two distances: a 30 Miler and a 10 Miler.

Course Details

The race uses the Coal & Coke Trail system. The course is a 5 mile out-and-back segment, which forms a 10 mile loop for the longer distance.

Crews can set up near the start/finish line from 5:30 AM on race day.

Aid Stations & Support

There are two aid stations: one at the start/finish line and one at the 5-mile turnaround point. They provide organic food options like fruit, chips, candy, cookies, protein pancakes, grilled cheese, and cheese quesadillas, as well as water and an electrolyte mix.

Participant Perks

All finishers receive an etched pint glass, a handmade medal, and a race sticker. Participants also receive a swag bag containing an ice bandana, a sticker, a sample, and other goodies. The top three male and female finishers in each race receive a custom handmade award.
