Oakwood 24

Oakwood24

Oakwood24 is a 24-hour timed ultra run and walk held annually to raise funds for Healing Transitions. The 2026 edition is presented as the ninth annual event and takes place on November 21, 2026, at Lakeside Retreats, a new venue chosen after several years at the Historic Oakwood Cemetery. The Lakeside Retreats site offers space for camping, ample parking, family-friendly activities, and unpaved running trails.

The event supports recovery services for homeless, uninsured, and underserved individuals in Wake County who are affected by addiction. To date, Oakwood24 has raised over $1,000,000 for Healing Transitions. Fundraising options include one-time donations, event sponsorships, individual fundraising teams, and volunteer participation. The event also features a Candlelight Remembrance Hour on the same day, an hour dedicated to remembering those who have lost their lives to the disease of addiction.

Oakwood24 is an official timed ultra run and offers multiple participation formats, including distance, time, and relay options. A running trail map and event registration are provided for participants. The event page notes past coverage such as a 2019 documentary and lists sponsors for the 2026 event. The presentation emphasizes community support and fundraising directed to local recovery programs and services. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
