Endless Summer running fest, and lake party!
Description Between June 20, 8AM and June 21, 8PM you get 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, or 36 hours to clock as many 1 mile loops around Catfish Lake as you can. The
loop is a dirt / gravel road with a brief grass section, and about 120 feet of elevation change. This is THE trail race for road runners. At the start / finish you can expect a non-stop party with good food, good music, and summer vibes. Cool off in the lake, or the misting tent, hit the slip 'n' slide, or hang by the overlook. With a beautiful summit lake on one side, and a beautiful mountain view on the other, this is sure to be the summer days you always hoped for. If you don't want to run, get a Hang Pass to enjoy everything the runners get, but the pain (basically just food, and drinks). However, you do not have to have one to come support a runner.
Giveaways Each runner will get a sweet tank, a sticker, and whatever other fun things we can scrounge up in the next 5 months!
Awards Top 3 male, and female distance of each duration will receive an award. While you may start any duration at any time, you are only eligible for a duration award if you start at the official June 20, 8AM start. Specific distance awards are in the works, including a buckle for 100+ milers.
Ceremonies Will be held right after each duration (2PM, 8PM, 2AM, 8AM, 2PM, 8PM).
Parking will be at the Belcher Tract parking lot off 280. There is a 0.8 mile walk / jog to the start / finish. We plan to rent some golfcarts, or ATVs for shuttling though.
Camping Bring whatever you need to make yourself successful: tents, specific foods, camp stoves, sleeping pad, etc. But let's try to keep it to a 10'x10' maximum. Tent spaces will be limited.
Food There will be a constant aid station at the start / finish with all the regular ultra-grub. We will serve breakfast on day two (7AM-9AM), Lunch both days (11AM-1PM), and dinner both days (6PM-8PM). And if there's something you want / need at anytime, just ask. We will do our best to accommodate. If you don't want to run, but you do want to eat, get a Hang Pass!
Recreation While swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and floating are allowed, they are not part of the official event, and will be done at your own risk.

Event Description
The 2nd annual Raffle Run is a go! As always, our goal is to motivate you to do your best. However, for Raffle Run, our focus is to be insanely generous to the runners that come to
our events. We will be giving away around $2,500 worth of prizes at Raffle Run. No strings attached! Literally, it’s that simple. Runners/walkers of all ages are welcome. At this event, you can literally be the slowest runner/walker and still win BIG!
Have you ever wanted to be a part of a raffle drawing where there is no limit to the number of raffle tickets you can have in the raffle? Do you also enjoy running/walking and pushing yourself? Well, Raffle Run is just for you. This is the most unique raffle you’ve ever heard of or ever been a part of. You control the number of raffle tickets you get based solely on your effort. Raffle tickets are only earned at this event and are NOT for sale. So, how does it work?
Runners will receive a Raffle Run wristband at packet pick-up. You must keep this wristband on your wrist, and it must be visible at all times to receive your raffle ticket upon completion of each lap. Without this wristband, you will not receive any raffle tickets during the event.
Once the event starts, runners will have 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete as many laps as they possibly can. (We have listed this event as a 5K, 10K, 1.5 Hour Run. However, this is only for the purpose of people being able to search for this event. The distance is totally up to you based on your effort. You can run one lap or twenty laps. We're good with either. Just know, the more laps you complete, the more chances you have to win the prizes given away at the end of the event. Strategy is key!) Upon completion of each lap, runners will receive a raffle ticket that corresponds with the prize they want to be in the drawing for. Only completed laps count. The runner must keep their raffle ticket until the conclusion of the event when the prize drawings occur. There will be five prizes given away at the conclusion of the event. If you happen to lose your ticket, no replacement tickets will be given under any circumstances. Keep up with all your tickets!
For example, a runner completes their first lap and wants to be in the drawing for prize #2. As the runner completes the lap, the runner runs through the lane corresponding with prize #2 and receives a raffle ticket for prize #2. The runner continues to run, and this cycle continues until the hour and a half is up. Runners can receive a ticket for any prize they choose and there is no limit to the number of tickets they can earn for each prize.
At 8:45 AM sharp, the raffle drawing will begin, and prizes will be awarded. To win the prize, the participant must be present, and the matching ticket must be presented to the race director.

The Prizes
There will be a total of 5 prizes given away at this year’s event. However, we are changing the format a little bit this year to increase your chances of winning. For prize #3 below, 3 raffle tickets will be drawn and each winner will receive $200. For prize #4, 2 raffle tickets will be drawn and each winner will receive 5 ounces of pure silver. The following is a list of prizes that will be given away:
#1 Carnival Cruise Lines $500 Gift Card
#2 Southwest Airlines $500 Gift Card
#3 $600 Cash Money
#4 Pure Silver (Approximately $500 Value)
#5 Pure Gold (Approximately $600 Value)

All runners will receive a finisher's medal upon completion of their last lap. Runners can earn unlimited raffle tickets for your chance to win the prizes.

Run Trail Walk
Sat, Aug 15, 2026 at 8:00 AM
Race start is at North Trailhead
Beginning with a short service road start, runners will quickly sort themselves before entering the single track of Blue Trail. After some rolling uphill, you will
take a hard left up one of Oak Mountain's gnarliest climbs, and my favorite training hill, Outback Highway! Once summitted, good news, the most grueling stretch is behind you. But you still have 2.5 miles of rugged Alabama terrain. After the next, shorter, and gentler hill, you will crest over onto one of my favorite top-outs with boulders towards a slippery pine straw downhill. Next is a walk-worthy climb to your halfway point, your water station, and the crown of this race: King's Chair! After a quarter mile of mostly runnable trail, you will come to your second toughest, but final climb to Eagles Nest. From there, it's about a half mile of technical downhill till you get back to Red Road for a fast finish. But make sure you watch your ankles here!
So, come test your grit with the Southeast's toughest 5k. ~1,100 feet of climbing, and descending over only 3.1 miles, on Oak Mountain's rugged terrain.
