MuuvWell Hot Rod 24 Hour Ultra

Bowling Green, KY
The race takes place at the Bowling Green Hot Rods Baseball Park on Saturday, September 26, 2026. Runners have up to 24 hours to cover as many loops as they can on this .31-mile course (yep, just 3/10th of a mile) that follows the perimeter of the concourse inside the baseball park. Special activities will keep runners entertained through the night. Expect a fun party atmosphere that will help the time and the laps go by. Runners are allowed to sleep, eat, leave, and come back, and even flat-out stop running whenever they want to. Due to the rules and structure of this type of run, it simply tests one thing: How far can you push yourself, and how far can you run? Not up for the challenge by yourself? No worries, grab three friends and tackle the 24 hours together! Relay The following are the rules for relay teams: Relay teams are comprised of 4 people.  There is no gender requirement.  They can be mixed or of the same gender.  Regardless of the team make up all relay teams compete agai
