The Iron Turtle

The Iron Turtle is a unique backyard ultra running event held at Lake Lurleen in Tuscaloosa, AL. Participants run a 4-mile loop every hour until they can no longer continue, with separate divisions for male and female competitors. The event emphasizes personal achievements, allowing runners to continue unofficially after missing a cut-off, and rewarding all who reach their personal records with a special sticker. The race features a fun atmosphere, including a mascot, aid stations, and options for team participation. With a focus on enjoyment and community, The Iron Turtle promises a memorable trail running experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
