Cape Fear 24 Hour : October 10, 2026
The event in Lillington, North Carolina (405 S 1st St) is a 24-hour endurance run. The course is a USATF certified and sanctioned 0.59-mile asphalt loop that surrounds the town parks and Recreation baseball fields. The loop is mostly flat with one small incline. Participants may run as far or as little as they wish within the 24-hour period.
Course logistics and timing
There is ample parking and space to set up a site close to a vehicle. Tents are allowed on site; open-air fires are not permitted. Restrooms are a few steps off the course. When it gets dark, the Town of Lillington will turn on park lights so a headlamp is not required. Electronic timing is provided by Clockwork Race Timing.
Aid, food and awards
A single, fully stocked aid station will offer typical ultra foods, water, Gatorade, and assorted soft drinks. 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.
