Ozone Endurance Challenge

It's coming! Ozone Endurance Challenge run (Ozone72Hour) is a lovingly crafted, yet simple, family friendly event directed by Will Jorgensen and some of The Pistol Ultra Run team.

It will take place June 1-4, 2017 at beautiful, family friendly Camp Ozone near Rockwood, Tennessee (near Knoxville). Runners will follow a beautiful USATF and IAAF/AIMS certified 2 mile loop course through the camp and the surrounding woods around Ozone Lake and Fall Creek.

The course consists of about two thirds shaded double track dirt which is almost all flat and relatively smooth (for trails). Then for variety, there are some sections of shaded/sporadically shaded gravel drive thrown in (with a grass shoulder to run on, if you prefer). The overall elevation gain is only about 60' per mile.

This event features timed races for 6, 12 (both day and night flavors), 24, 36, 48, and even a crazy long 72 hours! It is a great course for beginners and veterans alike, walkers and runners. Kids of any age are welcome become a Zoner too! (Super cheap fees for those under 10. And they are eligible for finishers awards too!) There will be a full service aid station at the start/finish area, which you will pass by every 2 miles.

To be an official finisher and score a medal, you only have to complete one 2 mile loop. How easy is that?! But of course your goal is to complete as many laps as possible within your chosen time limit. If you complete 50 miles or more, you will the proud new owner of a Ozone72Hour mug. And if you're a really crazy Zoner and crank out 100 or more miles, you will really step up your bling collection with a super cool custom belt buckle. So...how many laps can you deliver?

Besides getting to enjoy some quality trail time with all your crazy running peeps, some great race support, and swag, this is one event you can really feel doubly good about. A significant portion of your registration, camping, cabin, and RV parking fees go directly to the camp owner, Children's Bible Camps, to help with their programs. A big thanks for your support!
