Cape Fear 24 Hour

Lillington, United States • 10 Oct 2026

Cape Fear 24 Hour

The Cape Fear 24 Hour is an endurance run held on a USATF certified 0.59-mile asphalt paved loop. The loop surrounds baseball fields in a Lillington park. The trail is mostly flat, with one small incline.

There is plentiful parking and space to set up a personal site near a car. Tents are allowed, but open-air fires are not. Restrooms are located just a few steps from the course. Park lights are turned on after dark, so a headlamp is not necessary.

The event features a fully stocked aid station with typical ultra-running foods, water, Gatorade, and soft drinks. Later in the day, items like hamburgers, hotdogs, pizza, and soup are available. A special award is given to the participant who runs the most miles in a costume.

Electronic timing is provided by Clockwork Race Timing. Registration before September 1st guarantees a participant shirt. The event policy states no deferrals, transfers, or refunds. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
