Kettlebell Kountdown

The Kettlebell Kountdown is a unique endurance race held at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, Alabama. This 50K event features a one-mile loop course that runners must complete while carrying a 20-pound kettlebell. The race consists of 31 laps, with progressively decreasing time limits for each lap, challenging participants' speed and stamina.

Runners who finish a lap early can rest until the next lap begins, but failure to complete a lap within the time limit results in elimination. The final lap has no time limit, and winners receive custom kettlebell trophies. The event offers a competitive, intense atmosphere with aid stations and space for crews at the start/finish area.
