The 2024 Hot Rod Ultra is back, after a record-breaking 2024 event! Here are some of the cool things the Hot Rod Ultra has to offer! Overall Male and Female winners for the 24-hour run will receive PRIZE MONEY based on the miles they ran!! For example, if you win by running 110 miles, you will receive $110! 6 Packet pickup will be available on September 26 from 8:00-5:00 CST - Location TBD! Packet pickup will also occur on race day from 6-7:30 AM at the starting line at the Bowling Green Ballpark. We fully expect this year's race to sell out! Please be sure to sign up early so you can secure a spot!

The race takes place at the Bowling Green Hot Rods Baseball Park on Saturday, September 27, 2025. Runners have up to 24 hours to cover as many loops as they can on this .31-mile course (yep, just 3/10th of a mile) that follows the perimeter of the concourse inside the baseball park. Special activities will keep runners entertained through the night. Expect a fun party atmosphere that will help the time and the laps go by.

Runners are allowed to sleep, eat, leave, and come back, and even flat-out stop running whenever they want to. Due to the rules and structure of this type of run, it simply tests one thing: How far can you push yourself, and how far can you run?

Not up for the challenge by yourself? No worries, grab three friends and tackle the 24 hours together. The only requirement is someone must be running the loop at all times!

Runner's Swag:

A Unique Hot Rod Ultra Race T-shirt

A Custom Finisher's Medal

Belt Buckle for any runner who hits or exceeds 100 miles!

Don’t miss the super unique event!

A Hot Rod 24 Hour Ultra awards plaque will be given to the top runner based on laps completed in the 24 hour, 24 hour Relay, and 12 Hour events!

Relay

The following are the rules for relay teams:

Relay teams are comprised of 4 people. There is no gender requirement. They can be mixed or of the same gender. Regardless of the team make up all relay teams compete against each other. You may break up running at your team's discretion!

No pacing of relay runners is allowed (the only exception is if the entire team wishes to go on a lap together for their final loop)
