Time Laps 24 Hour Relay Race
Time Laps 24 Hour Relay Race is a 24-hour lap-based trail running relay at the Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC on May 21-22, 2027. The event is limited to 400 participants and is organized around team competition and overnight camping. Pre-registration is listed at $165 per person with a pre-registration deadline of May 19, 2027; day-of registration is not available.
Teams may include 2–12 participants and can be single gender or coed. Only one runner per team may accumulate points at a time and each team member must complete at least one lap. Standings are decided by points earned for completed laps; each lap has a point value tied to its distance and elevation change, and runners must check in at the scoring table after each lap. Idle team members can compete in mini-competitions at Race HQ while teammates are running.
Registration includes a prepared dinner, breakfast, lunch, raffle tickets, a finisher’s medal and a race t-shirt. Race shirts and finisher medals are guaranteed only for teams that meet specified pre-registration deadlines. Because the format is lap-based, there are no course aid stations.
Designated team campsites are provided for registered racers. A $50 cash campsite deposit is required and returned after site inspection. Generators are not permitted; dogs are allowed but must be kept on a 6 ft leash and may affect team points or standing if not controlled. Participants must sign the facility waiver before participating. Registration is non-refundable. Trails remain open to other users and no e-bikes or powered transportation are permitted. In an emergency participants must call 911. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
