The Joust 12hr & 24hr

Dive into the heart-pounding adventure of The Joust Race series, featuring three distinct challenges that cater to runners from every corner and level. Whether you're up for an epic endurance test or prefer a more manageable yet thrilling experience, there's something here tailored just right.
The Full 24hr Challenge beckons solo competitors and teams alike with the opportunity to push their limits over this extended period. Soloists can aim for that prestigious Joust Buckle by completing at least 100 miles, while team members have a collective goal of reaching 200 miles or more. Teams range from pairs all the way up to groups of eight runners.
For those who prefer a shorter yet intense challenge, the J12 offers an exhilarating push over twelve hours with the objective of covering 50 miles. This event allows participants to unwind once they've achieved their goal distance and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere at the campsite.
New for 2026 is The Joust Six Hour Race (J6), a compact yet demanding challenge designed for those who want to test themselves on this iconic course within six hours. Can you complete a marathon in that time? Regardless of your finish, every participant starts with a single lap and then has the chance to revel in the race's festive spirit.
All races take place on meticulously marked trails across a private farm setting, ensuring an engaging yet navigable 5.5-mile loop course. The terrain varies slightly each year due to natural changes but remains relatively flat overall, making it accessible for all skill levels while still offering unique challenges with every lap.
The Joust Race series is more than just running; it's about the camaraderie among participants and supporters alike as everyone comes together on a shared mission of pushing personal boundaries. Join us at 12:00 noon on Saturday to kick off your journey, whether you're aiming for that coveted buckle or simply looking to experience the thrill.
The event promises an unforgettable blend of scenic countryside views, supportive communities, and challenging terrain – all under the stars in a magical setting where every step counts towards personal triumph.
