About the RYR Endurance Race Weekend
The course runs on an asphalt greenway through Horse Fork Creek Park, shaded for most of the route with occasional glimpses of small lakes. It is flat throughout, and the multi-loop design means spectators can watch from one spot and catch runners several times over. The park has a playground and soccer fields near the start and finish area.
One of the more practical touches: tables are set up along the course so runners can stage their own nutrition rather than relying entirely on aid stations. The weekend splits into two distinct events, one open to multiple distances and a busier field, the other capped and run separately for those chasing a qualifier or a personal best.

The RYR Endurance Race Weekend has been held every year since at least 2024. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
