Event Overview

The Relentless Run & Ruck Challenge is a trail endurance event built for runners, ruck athletes, hikers/walkers, and anyone who wants to challenge themselves.

You can choose to run/walk (no weight) or ruck with weight.

• Sign Up: By September 24th to guarantee your NOBULL X Relentless t-shirt.
• Not Guaranteed: Those registered after that are not guaranteed their shirt size.

The Course

A ~5k loop on the trails of Camp Greenough. A mix of access roads and single track on a fully closed course.

Event Options

• 5K: One loop
• 10K: Two loops
• Relentless 6-Hour Endurance Challenge: Complete as many loops as possible in 6 hours

The 5K and 10K are straightforward - show up, run or ruck. Challenge yourself and have some fun.

The 6-hour event is different. Make the challenge your own and see how far you go. You could go for 2 hours, push for 3+ or go all 6.

The goal is to challenge yourself… and maybe go further than you've gone before.

Relentless Basecamp

The looped format allows participants doing multiple loops to move through a shared central hub - Relentless Basecamp. Feel free to bring extra snacks, chairs, cooler, etc., and set up at Relentless Basecamp. We'll have encouragement, energy, and good vibes.

Aid Stations

There will be one fully stocked aid station with water, electrolytes, and snacks to fuel your effort. It will be located at Relentless Basecamp (the start/finish). So plan on taking any water/fuel you need for each loop with you.
