24HR The Grind

24HR "The Grind"

24HR "The Grind" is a 24 hour individual and team race organized by Machete Trail Madness in Perris, CA, at 17801 Lake Perris Dr. Participants run a repeated loop called Molcajete 1.0, listed as a 4 miles+ loop with substantial climbing. Organizers note they are considering a potential alternate course with similar climbing and a longer loop of about 7 miles, pending finalization.

Racing options include individual 24 hour entries and teams of four. For teams, each runner is assigned a number from 1 to 4 and must run laps in that exact order without skipping or repeating. One team captain must register all team members under a single registration. Top three individuals in each gender category and the top three teams will receive awards.

The event location uses Group Picnic C for the campground, start line, and transition area; attendees are advised to enter via the Moreno Valley entrance rather than Ramona Express Way. Registration information on the source page shows pricing between USD 269.75 and USD 855.50 and indicates registration closes on Jan 2, 2027 at 11:59 PM PT. The organizer states that registrations submitted by Dec 24, 2026 will ensure receipt of medal or buckle and participant shirt, and that availability may be limited.

Registration details note included race swag, aid stations, and family friendly camping at no extra cost. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
