Cheraw 24 Hour

Cheraw 24 Hour

The Cheraw 24 Hour Run is a Mountaineer Rumble event held at Cheraw State Park in Cheraw, South Carolina. The course uses the Turkey Oak Trail Outer Loop, a 4.3 mile loop with approximately 190 feet of elevation gain. The trail surface is smooth and is described as flat and fast.

The event runs for a 24 hour period. Runners may complete as many loops as they choose during the event. An aid station and a drop bag area are located at the completion of each loop, allowing access to race aid and personal gear without leaving the course. Typical ultra race snack foods are available at the start and finish area. Food served throughout the event includes burgers, pizza, hot dogs, pasta, bacon, and pancakes.

Wildlife and vegetation visible along the route include red cockaded woodpeckers, deer, other bird species, pine trees, turkey oaks, blackjack oaks, and hickory trees.

Top three male and top three female finishers receive awards. Runners who complete 100 or more miles receive a custom design 100 mile buckle. A limited number of campsites are available during registration. Organizers state the goal is to highlight the trail system at Cheraw State Park and to support further park improvements.
