OMR Ultra 24 Hour Challenge
The OMR Ultra 24 Hour Challenge is a timed 24 hour event held at Mint Hill Park on Wilgrove, 7750 Jim Harper Ln, Mint Hill, NC. The event offers both an individual 24 hour category and a 24 hour team relay for teams of 2 to 12 runners. The course is a loop of approximately 1.35 miles composed mainly of crushed gravel, wooded singletrack, and grassy trail, with a short paved section by the parking area. Course markings and signage are placed on the right-hand side.
Timing chips on bibs automatically record laps. Distance references are based on lap counts: 100K = 46 loops (about 62.1 miles) and 100 Miles = 74 loops (about 99.9 miles). The event uses a rolling start, and aid, food, and crew access are available at the start/finish area.
An aid station at the start/finish will provide water, electrolytes, broth, gels, snacks, sandwiches, and rotating hot food overnight and through the following day. Bathrooms are located near the aid station. Propane grills and open flames are not permitted in the park except in stationary charcoal grills fixed near the overhead shelters. There is ample parking and space for crew setups, personal tents, and vehicle access for supplies.
Participants receive event swag including a finisher medal and an event shirt. Finishers of 100K and 100+ miles receive additional distance awards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
