Event Overview
The Pawling 24 Hour Trail Running Festival, organized by CTW Endurance, returns for its sixth edition at Lakeside Park in Pawling, New York. This event is a timed festival that takes place on a set distance loop, allowing participants to choose from several time-based challenges. The course consists of a 1.68 mile loop featuring a combination of pavement, grass, and single-track trail, with approximately 160 feet of elevation gain per lap.
Distance Options
Participants can select from the following timed categories:
- 24 hours
- 12 hours (Day start)
- 12 hours (Night start)
- 6 hours
- 3 hours
Participant Information
This is a cupless event, meaning participants must bring their own hydration vessels. An aid station is provided, stocked with water, sodas, bagels, fruit, and specialized nutrition products. A large grass field adjacent to the course serves as a crew area where participants can set up tents, chairs, and nutrition stations on a first-come, first-served basis. Indoor access is available for restrooms and as a shelter in case of weather.
Rules and Awards
All finishers receive a medal. Special awards are presented to the top three male and female runners in each category. Runners in the 24 hour race who complete 100 miles or more earn a belt buckle. Pacers are generally not allowed due to the short loop format, though 24 hour runners may have a supporter join them for a maximum of three laps after 11:00 PM.
