OMR Ultra 24 Hour Challenge
The OMR Ultra 24 Hour Challenge is a timed 24-hour running event held at Mint Hill Park on Wilgrove in Mint Hill, NC, at 7750 Jim Harper Ln. The course is a loop of approximately 1.35 miles, composed mainly of crushed gravel and grass trail with a short paved section near the parking area. Course markings will be placed on the right-hand side.
Entry options include solo runners who complete laps individually and relay teams of 2 to 12 runners who share the 24-hour period. A timing chip on each bib records completed laps; loop counts are used to determine race distances and awards. Distance references provided by the event include:
- 100K = 46 loops (about 62.1 miles)
- 100 Miles = 74 loops (about 99.9 miles)
An aid station at the start/finish supplies water, electrolytes, broth, gels, snacks, sandwiches, and rotating hot food overnight and through the following day. Bathrooms are located near the aid station. Participants may set up tents or use vehicles for crew access and rest, and parking is described as ample. Open flames and propane grills are not permitted in the park except in the stationary charcoal grills provided near the shelters.
All participants receive a finisher medal and event shirt. Special awards include a coin for 100K finishers and a buckle for those completing 100 or more miles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
