Description

Alright, listen up—this isn’t your typical road race. The Rusty Fish Marathon is a mixed-surface beast that’ll test you in ways you didn’t even consider. You’ll hit pavement, you’ll grind through dirt roads, and yeah, you’ll fight through sand—because why should this be easy? It’s not supposed to be.

One aid station. That’s it. This is an adventure-style run, meaning you’re responsible for your own hydration, your own fuel, and your own mental fortitude. The course will be clearly marked, but beyond that, it’s on you. You want easy? 

Will it be tough? Will it push you? That’s entirely up to your training and mindset. If you show up ready, you’ll have a hell of a time. 

What do you get?

One Rusty Fish swag item at entry—something to remind you why you do hard things.
Top 3 finishers get awards
Post-race meal—you’ll have earned it.
If you’re of age, adult beverages will be flowing—because nothing bonds people like shared suffering and cold beer.
Last year? 16 warriors took on the challenge. Will more step up this year? 

You in?
