The Joust 12hr & 24hr

The Joust offers off-road loop races with 24-hour, 12-hour, and 6-hour options, all beginning at noon on Saturday. The J24 can be completed solo or with relay teams of 2, 3-5, or 6-8 participants. The J12 provides 12 hours to complete 50 miles. The J6 requires at least one lap, suitable for those seeking the event's atmosphere without the commitment of a full ultra-distance day. The course consists of a 5.5-mile loop on private farmland, with minor adjustments each year because of the terrain. It is marked, marshaled, straightforward, and relatively flat. This setup emphasizes pacing, teamwork, and endurance over technical navigation. Solo runners completing 100 miles receive a Joust Buckle, and teams earn one by reaching 200 miles. A Kids Joust is also featured, including an inflatable rope maze on the course.
