12 Reasons to run the Relentless24

We’ve got a bunch of reasons we love the Relentless 24 design.

Here are our top 12 reasons you should run the Relentless24!


1. Your Pacing, Your Choice

You decide how hard you want to push yourself throughout the event. Whether you’re aiming for a steady pace to maximize your distance or planning a few all-out bursts, the Relentless 24 lets you tailor your strategy to what feels right for you.


2. A Test of Mental and Physical Toughness

Running for 24 hours on a looped course isn’t just about your legs—it’s a true mental challenge. You’ll experience the highs and lows, and you’ll need to dig deep to stay focused and strong as the hours tick by. But that mental endurance is what makes finishing this event so incredibly rewarding.


3. Take Control of Your Rest

The beauty of the looped format is that you control your recovery. You can rest whenever you need to, adjusting your pace and rest periods as you go. This means you have the flexibility to stop when you need to and come back stronger with each lap.



4. Simplified Logistics, More Focus

No worrying about navigation or getting lost. Since the course is a loop, you’ll always know where you are and how far you've come. Plus, with constant access to aid stations, you won’t have to spend valuable energy looking for supplies—everything you need is right there.


5. Feel the Power of Community

Even though you’re pushing your own limits, you’re never alone. The looped format fosters a strong, supportive atmosphere, with fellow runners cheering each other on, sharing moments of struggle and triumph, and creating a sense of camaraderie that you won’t find at many other events.


6. Flexibility to Match Your Goals

This isn’t just about racing to a fixed distance or time. Whether you’re gunning for a personal record or just aiming to finish strong, you can adjust your distance and pace depending on how you feel. The clock is ticking, but how you manage it is entirely up to you.


7. Make It Your Own Adventure

You’re in control of how you approach this event. Maybe you’ll push to your limits, or maybe you’ll focus on enjoying the experience and taking in the breathtaking surroundings of the Rockies. The choice is yours, making every lap a personal challenge.


8. The Varied Terrain

The course will keep you on your toes—whether it’s technical trails, elevation gains, or a mix of both. Each lap presents its own set of challenges, giving you the chance to adapt your strategy and experience the course in a whole new way as the day goes on.



9. Track Your Progress in Real-Time

There’s no guessing how you’re doing. With a 24-hour clock, you’ll get constant feedback on your performance. Whether you’re aiming for a specific distance or simply enjoying the run, you’ll be able to monitor your progress and adjust your pace as needed.


10. Push Your Limits and Be Resilient

This isn’t just a physical challenge—it’s a true test of resilience. The Relentless 24 is about more than just finishing; it’s about learning to balance effort and recovery, managing your energy, and finding your breaking point (and then pushing past it!).


11. Run Your Own Race

Choose your approach. Go all-in for short bursts of speed and rest strategically, or maintain a steady pace to maximize your total distance. Whether you’re racing for a personal best or running just to see how far you can go, this event lets you choose your path.


12. Bring Your Crew Along

With the looped course, your friends, family, and supporters can cheer you on throughout the day, offering motivation and encouragement every time you pass by. Their cheers will fuel you to keep going, lap after lap, no matter how long the race lasts.


And we simply can't stop there. We'll add one more reason and maybe this is the best reason of them all:


13. Race as a team!

Racing the Relentless 24 as a team is an absolute blast because it combines endurance with camaraderie. Each member can push their limits while relying on the support and motivation of their teammates. There's something incredibly rewarding about sharing the highs and lows, strategizing together and taking turns to take on the course. The energy and excitement of teamwork make every lap more exhilarating, and the collective sense of achievement at the end is unbeatable. Plus, the competitive spirit and the thrill of chasing down other teams creates an unforgettable experience.
