Event overview
The Longest Day 24 Hour Adventure Race takes place in Elizabethtown, NY on Saturday July 25 to Sunday July 26, 2026. It is a 24-hour team event held in a region of the Adirondack Mountains inside a large park. Entry price is listed as $284.50 (including a $14.50 fee). Registration opens January 1, 2026 and closes July 12, 2026. Teams must consist of 2 to 4 members; solo entries are not permitted by event permitting.
Course, format and requirements
The race combines single-track mountain biking, land navigation through forests and over mountains, and wilderness packrafting. The course will use pre-plotted maps and require strategic route planning. Many checkpoints on the course are optional; a smaller number of mandatory checkpoints will be used to keep teams moving together toward the finish. Boats are not provided by the event, so teams are required to bring their own packrafts. The organizer notes a post-race food offering and describes the terrain as scenic and physically demanding. Additional race information is available through the event website. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
