Self Transcendence 24 Hour Track Race
The Self Transcendence 24 Hour Track Race is a timed endurance event held at Tooting Bec Athletics Track in London. The race will incorporate the British 24 Hour Championships for 2026 and carries an IAU Bronze Label plus a UK Athletics Level 2 permit. Competitors run for 24 hours, completing as many 400 m track laps as possible.
The event is limited to 55 entrants and is open only to runners with recent ultra race experience of at least 100K or 12 hours. Organisers operate a selection process and a waiting list when entries exceed the field limit. Direction on the track changes every four hours, starting clockwise, and competitors must follow IAU and UKA rules including a no pacing policy.
Race support includes lap counters, sports physiotherapists, trackside refreshments, indoor changing rooms and a heated physio treatment room. There is space for tents and support stations trackside and parking on the road opposite the track entrance. Numbers are issued in multiple sets and a chipped number must be worn throughout for live lap scoring. Phones are not permitted in inner track lanes and only bone conduction headphones are allowed. Officials measure the final part-lap using a numbered bean bag system and all finishers receive an award at the post-race presentation.
