OMR Ultra 24 Hour Challenge
The OMR Ultra 24 Hour Challenge is an endurance event held at Mint Hill Park on Wilgrove in Mint Hill, North Carolina. Participants navigate a 1.35-mile loop course that features a variety of surfaces, including crushed gravel, wooded singletrack, and grassy trails. A short paved section along the parking lot is also included in each lap. The course is marked with flagging tape and signage on the right-hand side.
Participants can choose between two primary formats:
- 24 Hour Individual: Solo runners attempt to complete as many laps as possible within the time limit.
- 24 Hour Team Relay: Teams of 2 to 12 runners coordinate strategies to cover cumulative laps over the 24-hour period.
The event utilizes a rolling start, allowing runners to begin at the official start time or anytime thereafter. Timing chips on the bibs record each completed loop. Specific distance milestones are recognized based on lap counts, with 46 loops equaling approximately 100 kilometers and 74 loops totaling approximately 100 miles.
The venue at 7750 Jim Harper Ln provides space for crew setups, personal tents, and team areas. An aid station at the start and finish line offers water, electrolytes, snacks, and hot food. Restrooms are located near the aid station. Participants who reach the 100 km mark receive a custom coin, while those who complete 100 miles or more are awarded a finisher buckle. All participants receive a medal and an event shirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
