Tideland 24

Tideland 24

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

The loop surface is crushed gravel with minimal trip hazards and little elevation gain. The route includes several aluminum and wooden bridges and offers changing tidal views and abundant wildlife along the marsh.

The event operates as a non profit and donates every dollar after costs 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 performances and for top active duty. Participants who complete 100 miles receive a 100 Mile belt buckle. The event partners with the MILES FOR MARSOC Community Athlete Program and qualifying fundraisers may have their entry fee waived. Registration closes on Nov 2, 2026. No deferrals, transfers, or refunds are offered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
