Nocturnal 12

Nocturnal 12 is a 12-hour fixed-time endurance race held in Rochester, New York, along the paved Lake Ontario State Parkway Trail between Island Cottage Road and Dewey Avenue. Participants can walk or run as many 2.06-mile out-and-back laps as they wish within the 12-hour window, making it walker and mobility-impaired friendly. The course is mostly flat and unlit, requiring headlamps or flashlights, with reflective gear encouraged for safety.

The event features a night-time theme with an all-night aid station offering various snacks tailored to dietary preferences. Racers receive a wooden medallion, a race shirt, and opportunities to earn additional prizes through interactive challenges. Team participation and discounts are available.
