Tideland 24 - Cedar Point, NC
Tideland 24 is a fully supported 24 hour ultramarathon held in the Croatan National Forest near Cedar Point, North Carolina. The event takes place on the Tideland National Recreation Trail and is organized as a lap-based endurance race.
Participants run repeated laps of a USATF certified 1.37779 mile loop that follows the White Oak River and passes through adjoining salt marsh and forest. The course surface is a well-groomed crushed gravel trail with minimal trip hazards and little elevation gain. The route includes a mix of aluminum and wooden bridges.
Awards are given for Top 3 male and female finishers and for Top Active Duty performances. Runners who complete 100 miles receive a 100 Mile belt buckle.
The event is organized as a nonprofit. Organizers donate every dollar, after costs, to the Marine Raider Foundation; to date the event has raised over $39,000. In 2026 the event partners with the MILES FOR MARSOC Community Athlete Program, and runners who raise funds for the Marine Raider Foundation may have their entry fee waived. No deferrals, transfers, or refunds are offered.
The course runs beside changing tides and wildlife-rich marshland. The format allows participants to run or walk as many laps as they choose. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
