The Relentless Festival Experience +: A Weekend of Endurance and Fun
October 24th & 25th, 2026
Experience the ultimate endurance festival at The Relentless Festival Experience+, set for October 24th and 25th. This celebration of athleticism is designed to cater to all levels of participants—runners, cyclists, and ruckers alike.
On Saturday, October 24th, embark on a challenging yet supportive dirt division event through the scenic gravel roads and bike trails in Yarmouth, Dennis, and Harwich, Massachusetts. The approximately 40-mile route offers a mix of terrain that will test your endurance and push you to new limits. With full support along the way, including hydration stops and SAG cyclists on e-bikes, this is an event where every participant can thrive.
For those looking for something different, join us at the Relentless Run & Ruck Challenge on October 24th from 10:00 a.m., featuring a timed competitive-style endurance course. Choose to run or ruck with up to 30 pounds (men) and 20 pounds (women), all while navigating one loop of approximately 5 kilometers, two loops for the 10K option, or test your mettle in the six-hour endurance challenge by completing as many five-kilometer loops as possible. Mandatory ruck weigh-ins ensure fairness and adherence to standards.
On Sunday, October 25th, celebrate with a road event that challenges participants to cover approximately 41 miles at their own pace across three divisions: Division 1 for riders who can maintain speeds of 22 mph or more; Division 2, 18-21 mph; and Division 3, 15-17 mph. Each division will have four King/Queen of the Mountain (KOM/QOM) categories where the fastest combined times across five attempts win exciting prizes.
The festival atmosphere continues into the evening with a vibrant after-party on October 24th following the road challenge. Enjoy live music from a local band, delicious catering by Kidd's Hill Kitchen/Courtside Cafe, and beer provided by Barnstable Brewing. Participants and volunteers will receive coupons worth $30 each to spend at their leisure.
Prizes abound for all participants:
- Every rider in the Road Event (Challenge) is entered into a drawing for a Pinariello X.
- Cyclists in the Dirt Division event have a chance to win a Pinarello Gravel Bike.
- Runners and ruckers will be recognized with awards based on their performance.
In addition, The Relentless Festival Experience+ supports four non-profit organizations: the Youth Athletic Foundation, Real Eyes Truth, Barnstable Land Trust, and Latham Centers. A portion of rider fees or sponsorships goes directly to these causes, ensuring that your participation makes a difference in the community.
Prepare for an unforgettable weekend where you can challenge yourself, enjoy great company, and support important local initiatives. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out on this journey, The Relentless Festival Experience+ has something special waiting for you.
