2026 Hinson Lake 24 Hour Ultra Classic
The 2026 Hinson Lake 24 Hour Ultra Classic is the 20th annual 24 hour race held at Hinson Lake in Rockingham, North Carolina. The event spans from September 26 to September 27, 2026, and is a USATF sanctioned competition.
The course uses a 1.5032 mile inner loop that circles the lake and is USATF certified with code NC14103DF. The surface is a sand and gravel maintained trail through the woods. The loop crosses more than 16 small wooden foot bridges, including a 300 foot bridge over the lake. The trail will be marked on race day and chem-lights will be used for night visibility.
Timing and support follow set procedures: the event is electronically timed and each participant receives a bib and chip that must be worn at all times so laps and splits are recorded. A chute will be designated for runners only and participants taking breaks will be asked to stay clear of the lap counting area. All pacers must be registered entrants to reduce trail overcrowding.
Parking at the venue is limited and subject to restrictions to allow emergency access; the main lodge lot is first come first serve and alternative parking areas are identified. Entries are non transferable, there are no refunds or deferrals, and participant capacity is capped at 500, with a wait list used when the cap is reached.
