Azalea 12/24 Hour

Azalea 12/24 Hour takes place at Ravine Gardens State Park in Palatka, Florida, with a paved USATF measured two mile loop through the ravine and among large oak trees and historic features. The route includes several winding curves and a few hills and is described as a loop course. The event offers these race formats:

• 50 Miler
• 50K
• 24 hours
• 12 hours

Cutoff limits apply for some distances: the 50 mile has a strict 15 hour cutoff and the 50K has a strict 10 hour cutoff. Tents and canopies may be set up on race day only and participants are required to keep their areas clean. Solo runners without crews are allotted a limited number of reserved spaces; remaining spots are available on a first come, first served basis.

Aid stations will supply staple foods in abundance and offer hot items such as soups, sandwiches, and quesadillas; runners with special dietary needs are advised to be prepared. Each runner’s bottle must be clearly marked; a central table will be provided for bottle drop and pickup and bottles can be refilled near the course start and finish. Personal lighting is mandatory for nighttime running. Timing is provided by a professional service with redundant data backups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
