Event summary
Get ready for an exhilarating day of running at the 10th Annual JMC Running Co: 4-Hour Relay & Solo-Ultra Challenge, taking place on Saturday, July 18, 2026, in the scenic Charlestown Park in Phoenixville, Chester! This exciting summertime tradition invites runners of all levels to participate in one of two thrilling events: the 5-Man Relay or the Ultra Challenge.
In the 5-Man Relay, teams of five will tackle a loop of approximately 2.2 miles, passing the baton to each other for a continuous four-hour race. The team that covers the most distance will take home the top prize, making it a fantastic opportunity for camaraderie and friendly competition. For those seeking a true test of endurance, the Ultra Challenge allows solo runners to complete as many laps as possible within the same time frame. Whether you choose to run, jog, walk, or even crawl, the goal is to cover more ground than anyone else!
Participants are encouraged to arrive by 7:30 AM for event instructions, with set-up starting at 7 AM. Bring along tents and coolers to stay refreshed throughout the day, as water and food will be provided to keep your energy up. Don
