Pawling 24 Hour Trail Running Festival

Pawling 24 Hour Trail Running Festival

The event is presented by Conquer The World / C.T.W Endurance and returns for its sixth edition at Lakeside Park in Pawling, NY on September 19 - 20, 2026. It features multiple timed races on a repeated set distance loop.

Distances and formats:

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

The course is set on an about 1.68 mile loop combining pavement, grass, and single track trail, with roughly 160 feet of gain per loop. All races use the same loop and runners complete as many laps as they can within their chosen time.

Athlete and crew space is a large grass field adjacent to the course where participants may set up tents, chairs, and nutrition stations; spots are first come first serve and the area goes up to the course fence. An indoor building near the loop provides additional shelter and restrooms. Athletes must cross the timing mat before heading to their crew spots.

The event is cupless. Aid station offerings include Skratch and UCAN products, water, sodas, Athletic Brewing, bagels, fruit, and candy. Pacers are not allowed. For 24 hour runners, limited support is permitted for a total of three laps; exceeding that limit can lead to disqualification.

Finisher medals are awarded to all finishers. Awards are given to the top three male and female in each race, with 12 hour awards combined. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
