The 25th Hour Endurance Run
The 25th Hour Endurance Run is a timed trail event held at Camp Grier in Old Fort, North Carolina. The race takes place on a 3.6 mile loop consisting of single-track trail, gravel, and a grassy section near the lake. Each lap features approximately 400 feet of elevation gain. Participants have a total of 25 hours to complete as many laps as possible.
The event follows a specific format where runners are ranked by the number of full laps finished within the time limit. Partial laps are not included in the final distance count. If runners complete the same number of laps, their rank is determined by the time they finished their final lap.
Available distance milestones include:
- 25 miles
- 50 miles
- 75 miles
The course includes a well-stocked main aid station near the timing tent and an additional water station on each lap. The main station provides standard ultra-running food along with vegetarian options. Participants can set up personal aid stations along the course.
The race site offers free tent camping for runners and their families starting the day before the event. Bunk rooms and cabins are also available through the venue. Pacers may join runners after the first 10 hours of the event have passed. The property does not permit pets or open fires, and participants are required to pack out all trash.
Awards are provided for the top three male and female finishers, as well as masters and grand masters categories. Runners also receive milestone awards upon reaching specific distances and a race sweatshirt at packet pickup. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
