RUN UNDER THE STARSTRADE MARK 10 HOUR ENDURANCE RUN

RUN AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE IN 10 HOURS. OR STOP WHEN YOU WANT... HALF MARATHON, MARATHON, FIRST ULTRA? IT'S YOUR DECISION.

ALL TIMES ARE CENTRAL DAYLIGHT TIME.

June 6, 2026 - Carson Park Fairgrounds, 300 N. 30th Street, Paducah, KY 42001.

Starts at 8PM CDT. Ends at 06:00AM CDT.

1/2 mile lighted oval consisting of a dirt track covered with finely crushed limestone. This is a horse track that is used to pull those little buggies.

This is a night time run. Run, jog, walk, rest, stop and start as much as you'd like.
The objective is to see how far you can go; however, you can stop at any time if you've reached your goal or if you've had enough.

_REGISTER BY MAY 19TH TO BE GUARANTEED A T-SHIRT_

*We do expect to sell out this year, so race day registration not guaranteed.

HIGHLIGHTS:
CHIP TIMING SYSTEM will keep your distance recorded. We will display your distance continually at the timing tent. Check the monitor as you run by.
No traffic, no hills, no roots, no hard running surface.
NO HOT SUN BEATING DOWN ON YOU.

LARGE AID STATION on the track. We have a fully stocked station, containing the normal snacks and fruit plus salty items such as pretzels and chips, soda & PB&J sandwiches are a staple. Grilled cheese sandwiches, bacon, and so much other good food to keep you going.

Bring your own fluids containers. We try hard to not use any cups. You can leave your container at your course-side table, or if you don't have a table, at the table by the aid station (be sure to put your name on it).

AMENITIES AND AWARDS: Each runner will receive a shirt (if registered by May 19) and a custom medal. The top finishers will also receive a custom award!

REASONS FOR RUNNING RUTS: Great training venue for practice at running at night... calibrate your nighttime nutrition needs, get used to being up all night for that upcoming 100 miler (Tunnel Hill) or 24 hour race. Perfect social running event with serious results. You can feel safe due to all the runners around you. Unlike marathons, and non-loop events, you see your friends the entire time, giving you opportunities to run or walk with some runners you'd never get to run with.
This could possibly be the course you'll set a personal best for whatever distance you run. Knowing that your vehicle is close by, you have the confidence to keep going.
On Site Parking, either in the huge parking lot, or right on the grass infield. No hotel needed.

SET UP: Beginning any time after 2pm on Saturday June 6, you can set up a tent under the large shade trees in the grass infield, or alongside the course. There is plenty of room. This is a good one to bring the family to. You can stop and see them as much as you like. Encourage them to run or walk a few laps with you. They love it, and so do we. We only ask that you carry your trash out with you if at all possible.

PACKET PICK UP: Begins at 5 pm at the race site in the white building near the grandstands. You will receive a shirt, your race bib with timing chip.

DOGS: We love dogs, however they are NOT allowed on the course as part of the race. IF you bring your dog, you will need to keep them on a leash, and out of the way of other runners, or guests.

We're so excited to spend the evening under the stars with you all!
