Prepare for an extraordinary test of endurance at the Hot Rod 24 Hour Ultra, set to ignite the Bowling Green Hot Rods Baseball Park on September 26-27, 2026. This isn't your typical ultra; it's a uniquely immersive experience held on a fast, flat .31 to .33-mile paved loop that traces the concourse inside the baseball stadium. Known for its festive atmosphere, the event keeps runners entertained through the night with special activities, including movies displayed on the massive video board. Designed to push personal limits, this race allows participants the flexibility to run, rest, eat, and return to the course as they choose, making it a true proving ground for all levels of runners.

The Hot Rod 24 Hour Ultra stands out with its exceptional support and amenities. A fully stocked aid station is available around the clock on the third baseline, offering an impressive array of fuel from coffee and general snacks like trail mix and candy, to heartier options such as burgers, hot dogs, pancakes, and pizza at various times. For those aiming for significant milestones, a custom belt buckle awaits all runners who achieve 100 miles, and overall male and female winners of the 24-hour run can even earn prize money based on their mileage. With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 80F and lows around 57F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, the weather often provides a favorable backdrop for this unique challenge.

Beyond the individual accomplishment, the Hot Rod 24 Hour Ultra fosters camaraderie and supports a great cause, raising funds and awareness for Curbside Ministries. Whether you tackle the 24-hour solo challenge, form a 4-person relay team, or opt for the 12-hour or 12-hour night ultra, you'll join a vibrant community at the Bowling Green Hot Rods Baseball Park in Bowling Green, KY. This event is more than a race; it's an inspiring journey where every stride contributes to both personal discovery and community good.
