Cape Fear 24 Hour

The Cape Fear 24 Hour is an endurance running event held in Lillington, North Carolina, featuring a USATF certified 0.59-mile asphalt loop around local baseball fields. The mostly flat course includes one small incline and is well-lit at night by park lights, eliminating the need for headlamps. Participants can run as much or as little as they want over 24 hours, with ample parking and space for tents near cars.

A fully stocked aid station offers typical ultra foods, drinks, and later meals like hamburgers and pizza. Costume runners are encouraged, with a special award for the most miles run in costume. Proceeds benefit the Buddy Backpack program. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
