RYR Endurance Race Weekend

About the Event

RYR Endurance Team is excited to once again host the RYR Endurance Race Weekend in 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 other races will run concurrently. The Sunday marathon is designed for those athletes desiring a personal best or trying to BQ. NO other races will be run during the competitive Sunday marathon. Registration for this race will be limited. For all races, there will be tables set up for athletes to stage their individual nutrition needs. RYR Endurance Team will also host a 5K, half marathon, and 50K on Saturday and a 10K on Sunday.

The courses for all races are on a scenic, asphalt greenway, offering shade and a couple of small lake views. Each race is a multi-loop course making it very spectator friendly and easy to navigate. The course is fast and flat! The start and finish are at Horse Fork Creek Park with a playground and soccer fields.

About Owensboro

Learn more about the host city, Owensboro.

Owensboro is a town on the banks of the Ohio River in Kentucky's Western Coal Fields. It bills itself as the Barbecue Capital of the World and has had some interesting figures call it home over the years, such as Beulah Annan, whose story inspired the play and movie Chicago; Florence Henderson, aka Carol Brady of The Brady Bunch; NASCAR great Darrell Waltrip ; and Johnny Depp. On a darker note, it was also the site of the last public hanging in the United States, the subject being an African American, in 1936.
