Cape Fear 24 Hour

Lillington, United States • 11 Oct 2025

Event details

The Cape Fear 24 Hour is a timed, 24-hour endurance run on October 11, 2025 in Lillington, NC at 405 S 1st St. Electronic timing will be provided by Clockwork Race Timing. All proceeds from the event will be donated to Buddy Backpack of Harnett County. Registration closes on October 1; participants who register by September 1 are guaranteed a shirt. No deferrals, transfers, or refunds are offered.

Course and on-site services

The course is a USATF certified and sanctioned, 0.59-mile asphalt loop around Lillington Parks and Recreation baseball fields. The route is mostly flat with one small incline. There is ample parking and space to set up a site close to a vehicle; tents are allowed but open-air fires are not. Restrooms are a few steps off the course, and the Town of Lillington will turn on park lights after dark so a headlamp is not necessary. One fully stocked aid station will offer water, Gatorade, assorted soft drinks, and typical ultra foods; hamburgers, hotdogs, pizzas, and soups will be available later in the day. A special award will be given to the participant who runs the most miles in a costume. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
