Run4Water Ultra Festival invites runners of all levels to join a day filled with endurance challenges, community spirit, and meaningful causes in Lebanon, Tennessee. The festival spans an entire day, featuring various race distances from timed ultra events ranging up to 24 hours to multiple options for the shorter 5K runs, all on a meticulously designed half-mile looped course that ensures runners stay connected throughout their journey. The USATF-certified and sanctioned course (TN17001BW) measures precisely 818.3369 meters per lap, making it ideal for setting personal records or chasing fast times due to its smooth surface with minimal elevation changes. The loop is perfect not only for speed but also for endurance runners aiming to rack up the miles. In addition to racing, participants and spectators can engage in a variety of activities including vendor booths offering unique products and services related to running, family-friendly zones designed to keep non-runners entertained, and opportunities to learn more about Run4Water’s mission through interactive displays. The day concludes with an exclusive premiere of "Woven for Water," a documentary that highlights the organization's efforts in addressing global water issues. Guest speakers Harvey Lewis and Maggie Guterl will share insights on their experiences related to running and social causes, adding depth to the festival’s theme of connection and purpose. Runners can also opt into the 84 Minute Race during the last hour of the event as part of a special initiative by 84 Days — a faith-based nonprofit focused on empowering young women through education and resource provision. Support for runners is abundant with aid stations located conveniently at the start/finish line, offering essential items like water, electrolytes, and snacks. For those preferring personal support setups, designated tent spaces are available along the backside of the course to facilitate easy access to gear without interrupting race progress. Indoor restrooms within a nearby school building remain accessible throughout the event. Registration for Run4Water Ultra Festival includes options for supporting 84 Days’ mission with an add-on that provides participants with exclusive merchandise and recognition, while also contributing directly to their cause. The festival not only offers athletes a platform to test themselves but also serves as a powerful community gathering spot where every step taken translates into action towards making a difference in the world. With its prime location just 20 minutes from Nashville International Airport and close proximity to local amenities, Run4Water Ultra Festival promises an unforgettable experience for all attendees.
