Hardin-Meade Endurance Run (31 Miler) - Elizabethtown, KY

The Hardin-Meade Endurance Run is a 31-mile road event held on July 12, 2026, beginning in downtown Elizabethtown and finishing at the waterfront park in downtown Brandenburg, Meade County. The event is organized by Running Soles LLC and is limited to 50 participants. Registration is managed through UltraSignup and closes on July 9 at 11:59 PM ET. A $15 registration option covers a run logo shirt; a free no-shirt option is also available.

Due to typical July weather and the distance, entrants are required to have completed at least one ultra distance (50K or higher) or at least two full marathons. Minimum qualifying times will be verified before participation. Runners will be assigned to one of three starting waves based on their most recent validated marathon time.

Each runner must be supported by at least one crew vehicle. Crew vehicles must be in good working order, display warning signage, and keep warning or flashing lights on while providing leap-frog support rather than driving directly beside the runner. Runners and allowed pacers must wear safety reflective vests for the duration of the event. Pacers are permitted only up to the intersection of HWY 60 and HWY 313. A safety briefing will be held before each wave. A route preview is available on Strava. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
