USA 24 Hour Qualifier

The Desert Solstice 24 Hour Run will serve as an ideal qualifier for the USA 24 hour national team to compete in the world 24 hour championship.

Timing

Laps will be recorded by a bib chip timing system and will be submitted for USATF record purposes, including a timing point on the back side of the track (every 200M). All timing will be contained on your bib so you must wear prominently for the duration of the event.. You may leave the track at any point in time during the race, but you must return to the same place before continuing. You may not leave and return directly by the timing equipment, to avoid double counting a lap. Every 4 hours we will change the direction of travel. Your number of laps, distance, and race will be shown on an electronic display near the start.

Race Course

The race route is a certified 400-meter all-weather track located at Camelback High School in Phoenix, AZ.

Results

Entrants will receive results for their 100-mile split (if they reach that distance) AND the 24-hour. E.g.: This means if you're applying to run a 50KM world record and stop at that point, your ultra signup will reflect 50KM distance for the 24-hour event. All entrants will be registered for the 24-hour event.

Volunteers

We cannot produce this event without the help of our amazing volunteer team. If you would like to join our volunteer team, we are looking for help with event setup, main aid station, timing, and event breakdown. Volunteer perks include a race shirt or other goody and Aravaipa Race Credits. You can see our current opportunities and signup here: Desert Solstice Volunteer Form
