Tideland 24

Tideland 24

Tideland 24 is a fully supported 24 hour ultramarathon held in Cedar Point, North Carolina, in the Croatan National Forest. The race is run on the Tideland National Recreation Trail, a USATF certified 1.37779 mile loop that follows the White Oak River and adjacent salt marsh and forest.

The trail surface is well groomed crushed gravel with minimal trip hazards and elevation gain. The loop includes several bridges made of aluminum and wood. The event is organized as a non-profit; every dollar net of costs is donated to the Marine Raider Foundation. To date the event has raised over $39,000 for that foundation.

Awards are presented for the top three male and top three female finishers and for top active duty performances. Participants who complete 100 miles receive a 100 Mile belt buckle. For 2026 the event is partnered with the MILES FOR MARSOC Community Athlete Program; fundraisers who support the Marine Raider Foundation may qualify for an entry fee waiver by coordinating with the Race Director. Registration closes on Monday, November 2, 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
