Cornbelt Running Club 24 Hour Run

Cornbelt Running Club 24 Hour Run begins at 7:00 AM on May 1, 2027, in Davenport, Iowa. This is a timed event rather than a fixed-distance race: you have 24 hours on the clock, and the distance you cover in that window is your result. No elevation gain is listed.

Timed ultras reward patience more than speed. Runners often walk planned intervals from the very first hour, eat something every 30 to 45 minutes, and change socks and shoes before problems start rather than after. Because you can stop at any point and still have a result, the format works as a first step into ultrarunning as well as a serious 24-hour attempt. In preparation, back-to-back long runs on tired legs and at least one session that runs into the night will tell you more than any single hard workout.
