Black Gold 24hr and 12hr Endurance Challenge

Black Gold 24hr and 12hr Endurance Challenge takes place at Belfry High School in Belfry, Kentucky. The race uses a new 1-mile loop around the track and adjacent parking lot, offering a flat course with optional direction changes and added hills for variety. Solo runners or three-person relay teams compete to log as many laps as possible across 24 or 12 hours.

The event features chip timing with ankle bracelets, on-site lodging in the locker room, camping, and a 25-lb rucksack challenge. Food is community-sourced including meals and grilling, with water and drinks; volunteers welcome donations and a friendly, supportive atmosphere.
