Event Overview
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.
