Lonesome Pine 24 - Long Grove, IA
Lonesome Pine 24 is a 24 hour timed trail running event on March 27, 2027, organized by Sun Trail Running at Scott County Park near Long Grove, Iowa. The course is a 3.65 mile loop with about 350 ft of elevation gain. Most of the route is wooded double-track dirt trail with under a mile of asphalt or park road; the terrain is generally non-technical with some small rolling hills. For the final hour, runners transition to a short 1/3 mile loop around the start/finish to allow for maximum mileage.
The event uses a single fully stocked aid station at the Whispering Pines shelter. Dropbags are allowed inside the pavilion and there is space outside for crew canopies. Pacers are permitted after the 12 hour mark; only one pacer may accompany a runner at a time and pacers must be on foot. Trekking poles are allowed; dogs and bikes on course are not permitted.
Runners earn credit only for continuous, full loops; partial loops will not count toward final mileage. Packet pickup occurs on race day and continues until just before the start. Registration is online only and the posted policy states no refunds or bib transfers. Deferral deadlines are listed as January 27 for full credit and February 27 for 50 percent credit; deferral credit is valid for one year only. The event may modify or cancel the course for safety, weather, or park restrictions. A waitlist will be used if the race reaches capacity.
