RYR Endurance Race Weekend
RYR Endurance Team is excited about our inaugural race weekend hosted in the small river town of Owensboro, KY. The weekend will offer a marathon on both Saturday and Sunday.
Both marathons will be on the same USATF-certified course and are Boston Qualifiers.
The Saturday race is designed for those who want to complete the marathon but aren’t concerned with BQ qualifying times. This race will be open to more athletes and be a more congested race – with lots of athletes enjoying the race.
The Sunday marathon is designed for those athletes desiring a personal best or trying to BQ. Registration for this race will be limited, as there will be tables set up for athletes to stage their individual nutrition needs and less race traffic to navigate. RYR Endurance Team will also host a 5K, half marathon, and 50K on Saturday and a 10K on Sunday.
