North Coast 24 Hour Endurance Run: 2018 USATF 24 Hour National Championship

09/22/2018 - 09/23/2018

Welcome! The NorthCoast 24-Hour Endurance Run, commonly known as NC24, is an exciting endurance race held on the shores of Lake Erie at Cleveland’s scenic Edgewater Park. Runners will travel around a loop of .88185 miles, covering as many miles as possible within the race’s specified time limit and may elect to run any amount of time or distance that they wish. The overall winners will be those who cover the most distance within the race time limit.

The Course:

The NC24 race course will be the same as in 2017. Those who run with us regularly know that the course got quite a face lift in 2017 due to a massive construction project at the beach house pavilion. The current course utilizes the 8′ wide asphalt all-purpose trail around Edgewater Park that measures .88185 miles in length. USATF Course Certification: OH17029MW

We anticipate that the direction of travel will be CLOCKWISE around the course; however, the Race Directors will monitor the weather prior to the start of the NC24 and will make a final decision at that time.

Please note that we cannot close the course to all non-NC24-related traffic during the race. Edgewater Park is a public park, and you can expect to see some walkers, runners, and the occasional dog on a leash during the race. In general, the park is much less crowded in late-September than it is during the summer months.

The western edge of the course loop features a brand new beach house. Our start line (and official timer and lap counter) will be located by this pavilion. Immediately after this pavilion will be the official NC24 aid station. Immediately after the aid station will begin the “aid area”. This area, which will likely include the entire western edge of the course loop, is where you may set up your own aid station. In past years, many runners have set up tables, tents, crew areas, etc., containing their own supplies. You may do so if you choose, but you are certainly not required to. The official aid station will supply plenty of excellent “ultra” food and drink to satisfy the needs of most runners.
