Course and details

Participants run repeated laps on the USATF-certified 1.37779 mile Tideland National Recreation Trail loop. The trail follows the White Oak River and adjoining salt marsh and forest, and includes various aluminum and wooden bridges. The surface is described as well-groomed crushed gravel with minimal trip hazards and minimal elevation gain. Participants may run or walk as much as they like during the 24-hour period. Awards are presented for Top 3 male and female finishers and Top Active Duty performances. Runners who complete 100 miles receive a 100 Mile belt buckle. In 2025 the event partners with the MILES FOR MARSOC Community Athlete Program; participants who raise funds for the Marine Raider Foundation may have their entry fee waived, with details available from the Race Director. Wildlife and changing tides are noted features of the course environment. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
