From the Organizer
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.

From Endurance Grid
This race spans more than one sport — here’s a guide to each, so you can understand what’s involved and decide if it’s the right fit. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
From 5K to marathon, running races are an accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
An ultramarathon is anything beyond the standard marathon — 50K, 50-mile, 100K, 100-mile, and timed events. Crossing the line is less about speed and more about not quitting.
