Pawling 24 Hour Trail Running Festival

Pawling 24 Hour Trail Running Festival

The Pawling 24 Hour Trail Running Festival at Lakeside Park in Pawling, NY features multiple timed races on a short loop course organized by Conquer The World / C.T.W Endurance for its sixth edition. Races are held as set-time events where participants see how far they can go in a fixed period.

Distances and formats include:

• 24 hours
• 12 hours (day)
• 12 hours (night)
• 6 hours
• 3 hours

The course is an about 1.68 mile loop combining pavement, grass, and single track trail with roughly 160 feet of gain per loop. The event is cupless; participants should plan for their own drinking vessels. A large grass field near the loop serves as the athlete and crew area for tents, chairs, crewing, and personal supplies on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants must cross the timing mat before accessing these spots.

There is access to an indoor building by the loop with restrooms. An aid station offers basic ultra race nutrition and hydration, including Skratch and UCAN products, water, sodas, athletic brewing, bagels, fruit, and candy. Finisher medals are awarded to all runners and awards are given to the top three male and female in each race; 12 hour awards are combined.

Pacers are not allowed. For 24 hour runners, limited support is permitted for a maximum of three laps; exceeding this limit may lead to disqualification. A belt buckle is awarded to runners who complete 100 or more miles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
