  20th Annual 24-Hour Race

  VENUE:

  Hinson Lake, Rockingham, North Carolina

  RULES:

  This event will be electronically timed. All participants will be issued a bib/chip which must be worn at all times to guarantee that all completed laps and splits are recorded. There will be a chute for runners only and if you will be taking a break, you will be asked to steer clear of the lap counting area.

  COURSE:

  The course is the 1.5032-mile inner loop that circles the lake. It is a USATF certified course with certification code NC14103DF. The surface is sand/gravel-maintained trail through the woods. You will run over 16 small wooden foot bridges including a 300-foot bridge that crosses over the lake. The trail will be marked on race day and will use chem-lights at night.

  PACERS:

  In an effort to prevent overcrowding on the trail, all pacers must be registered entrants.

  PARKING:

  To allow access to emergency vehicles, parking along the entrance road will be restricted to East side only (on your left as you enter the facility). The main parking area at the lodge has limited parking space and is first come/first serve. With that said, if you are not planning to stay on the trail for the entire 24 hours, I ask that you park either in the South parking lot which has access from Crow Run, on both sides of Crow Run or at the Moose Lodge located on Crow Run. There are also RV camping spaces at the Moose Lodge which is free but donations are accepted. Remember to lock your vehicle and do not leave valuables in plain sight!

  THE START:

  The event starts at the foot bridge of the dam in the main parking lot. Start time is 8:00 AM.

  AWARDS:

  The following will receive awards:

  24 Hour 1st Place Overall Male Participant

  24 Hour 1st Place Overall Female Participant

  100/K 1st Place Overall Male Participant

  There is a no refund policy. All entries are non-transferrable and there are no deferrals.

  Race participant cut-off is 500. Once the cut-off has been reached there will be an option to add your name to a wait list. We will begin activating names from the wait list once the number of entrants drops below 500. When your waitlist entry has been activated, you will have 48 hours to register before the link expires.

  If you are registered and for any reason cannot attend, please contact me so those on the wait list will have a chance to participate.

  Derby 50k

  Registration ends Nov 23rd or when we reach full capacity, Entries are first come first serve. We do not maintain a wait list.

  In addition, we ask that you also bring some dog and/or cat food so that we may help

  the Richmond County Animal Advocates. They will have a van onsite for the food donations.

  Your race number is your packet and ticket for lunch and can be picked at the

  Derby Community Building at 7:00 am Saturday morning.

  There will be spaghetti plates at the Derby Community Building. It will come with a salad, drink, cake, banana pudding, and pies. The "church ladies" from Jones Springs Church provide the meal. There will also be a non-meat sauce for vegetarians/vegans. It has been quoted that the homemade cakes and banana pudding, are worth running 31 miles. The money goes to the Derby community needs, church, fire dept. etc. The pasta lunch is also open to the general public for $7.00 a plate. The meal is free to runners. Your race number is your ticket for food.

  Please, no alcohol on the premises.

  The course will start and finish in front of the Derby Community Building and it will be run in a counter-clockwise direction facing traffic. The turns and some straights will be marked with yellow arrows painted on the highway. It's your responsibility to look for them. It's 31.5 miles on 3 loops of rolling hills in a beautiful country setting on asphalt and dirt. It's a great event for those wanting to do their first ultra run. This is a 31.5-mile fun run with no bells & whistles. The course is not closed to traffic. Derby Road is in the middle of nowhere but travelers use it to get somewhere. SO, IN ADDITION TO EXERCISING YOUR BODY PLEASE EXERCISE CAUTION! This is a very low key, no frills race. If you are expecting port-a-potties, expos or to be waited on, I suggest you stay home.

  Awards

  First male and female will receive special awards.

  First local male and female will receive awards and all finishers receive custom medals.
