Krug Castle Challenge

Race Overview

Lace up for a castle-themed challenge like no other! Join us at the majestic Krug Park as we turn miles into miracles for St. Jude. Whether you're here to knock out that Measly Mile, grab a 5k or 10k medal, or push your limits, there’s a path for every kind of hero!

Important Notice

• Lighting: If you are planning on going all the way and embracing the full challenge, we encourage you to bring a head lamp and/or body lamp. There is lighting on the course, and some of the Christmas lights are up, but we still encourage you to bring your own lighted device if you plan to run in the dark!

Challenge Format

• Loop System: Loop the park — again and again. You’ll have 20 minutes to complete each lap around the park before time resets for the next. How many can YOU conquer?

Medals

• Kinda 5k & 10K Medals: Complete the Kinda 5k (3 loops = 4.08 miles) or the 10K and claim your victory with a commemorative medal for that distance. You must sign up for those distances to get those medals!
• Challenge Medal: For the fearless warriors who go all-out: rack up laps and earn the exclusive Challenge Medal for your epic endurance.
• Categories: We will crown our Royalty (winners) at the end! Who will be in the Royal Court? We will have a King, Queen and Nonbinary winner.
• Finalist Recognition: The last person standing (no lap requirement) in each category will be crowned the winner. Darrick & Carmen Inscho will crown the winners!
