McCormick 24

McCormick 24 offers an unparalleled challenge for endurance runners, inviting athletes to test their limits over multiple timeframes: 24 hours, 12-hour day and night sessions, as well as a 6-hour option. The race unfolds on a compact yet varied 2-mile loop within the park's open field area, near the main trailhead. Each lap features approximately 320 feet of elevation gain, making it both mentally and physically demanding.
Participants will find an aid station set up in a designated tented area, complete with basic food options including hot meals and cold items, as well as Skratch hydration mix throughout the event. Runners are encouraged to bring their own canopy tents for rest areas; however, space is limited so early setup is recommended. Drop bags will be available at various checkpoints around the loop.
Parking can be tight near the start/finish area, but off-road parking options are plentiful just a short distance away from the trailhead and across the street in nearby lots managed by the fire department. Carpooling or using these alternative locations helps ensure that you arrive ready to tackle this grueling yet rewarding course.
