Kettlebell Kountdown

Kettlebell Kountdown is a unique endurance challenge held at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, Alabama. The 50K competition consists of 31 one-mile laps around a loop, with each lap carried out while holding a 20-pound kettlebell. Runners must complete every lap within a decreasing time limit or be eliminated; the day ends when only one runner remains or all complete lap 31, with official finisher medals awarded to those who complete all 31 laps.

There are two divisions (male and female); winners receive a custom kettlebell trophy. No on-course aid or pacers; crews may support in start/finish areas. Weather and lighting considerations noted; headlamps advised for late laps. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
