It was a great weekend! Thank you to everyone who came out. See you next year!
THANK YOU from The Good Endurance Team!
The inaugural Southern Grit Endurance Challenge was an incredible weekend, and we are truly grateful to everyone who helped make it such a success.
We were incredibly stoked to sell out in our very first year, and we can’t wait to continue building on this momentum in the years ahead.
We were also thankful to welcome runners from 8 different states — Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and North Carolina — who came together to be part of the race weekend.
This year, we welcomed runners, walkers, ruckers, and hikers who came together to be part of the race weekend. The energy, friendships, and support we witnessed throughout the event remind us why this community is so special.
