Event Description

ACS24 brings the 24 hour challenge to the virtual space!    

Rather than your typical virtual event, where athletes are challenged to run a set distance as quickly as possible, we want to see how many miles you can run in 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours.  So, whether you are a new athlete, a seasoned ultra-runner, or have a group of friends that want to split it up as a relay team- this is the 2020 race for you!

This year your results are going to be submitted based on an honor system.  Therefore, there will not be awards given for top finishers or age groups.   Guidance on how to track results can be found on our homepage.
