Hardin-Meade Endurance Run

Elizabethtown, United States • 13 Jul 2025

The Hardin-Meade Endurance Run is a challenging 31-mile race held in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, starting at Riverfront Park in Brandenburg and finishing downtown. Limited to 50 participants, the event takes place in July, often under hot and humid conditions, requiring runners to have prior ultra-distance or marathon experience for safety. The course is supported by mandatory crew vehicles that leapfrog runners, providing essential aid without following directly. Safety is emphasized with reflective vests for runners and pacers, and warning signs on crew vehicles. The run offers a friendly atmosphere, blending personal challenge with camaraderie, and includes staggered start waves based on marathon finish times.
