About the RunTough 2026
The course runs through the high school campus where the race is based and into the neighborhood where Chad Carr grew up, so the route carries some weight beyond the running itself. The shorter distance is an out-and-back along a campus road. Terrain is paved and mostly flat.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at the foundation's office in Saline, with pickup available at the stadium on race day as well. After the race, the football field hosts games and activities for kids. Dogs are not permitted at this event.
