The Pemberton 24

The Pemberton 24 is a unique endurance running event held at Pemberton Park in Salisbury, Maryland. Participants, either solo or in four-person teams, run multiple 5K races over a 24-hour period, with a new 5K starting every hour. The scenic trail course features an aid station stocked with refreshments and surprises.

Runners are encouraged to set up camp areas for rest between runs. The race uses a points system based on completion and placement rather than traditional timing. Night runners must use headlamps, and the event promotes a supportive, festival-like atmosphere with strict rules to ensure fairness and environmental care.
