Lonesome Pine 24

Lonesome Pine 24

Lonesome Pine 24 is a 24 hour trail endurance run organized by Sun Trail Running at Scott County Park in Long Grove, IA. The start and finish are located at the Whispering Pines Shelter on park property.

The course is a short loop of 3.65 miles with about 350 ft of elevation gain. Most of the route is wooded double track dirt trail with under a mile of paved park road. Much of the loop is non-technical and flowing, with some small rolling hills. For the final hour of the event runners use a short 1/3 mile loop around the start/finish to allow maximum mileage.

This is a timed format: participants run, jog, or hike as many full loops as they wish during the 24 hour period. Runners must complete continuous, full loops to earn credit; partial loops are not counted. Extended breaks may be taken at the start/finish area.

One fully stocked aid station is located at the Whispering Pines shelter. Drop bags are allowed inside the pavilion and there is space for crew setups outside. Pacers are permitted after the 12 hour mark; only one pacer may accompany a runner at a time and pacers must be on foot. Bikes and dogs on course are not allowed.

Registration is online only and the event follows a no refunds and no bib transfers policy. Finishers of at least 50k receive a customized award, overall winners receive special awards, and those completing 100 miles receive a custom belt buckle. The event includes professional chip timing services, race swag, post-race food and a donation back to the park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
