The Pemberton 24 invites participants to tackle as many 5k trail runs as they wish over a continuous 24-hour period, with a new race starting on the hour every hour. The scenic course winds through the Pemberton Park trail system, offering a blend of excitement and camaraderie. Each 5k must be completed in under an hour to earn points, emphasizing endurance over speed. Runners will benefit from a well-stocked aid station at the start/finish area, featuring refreshments like water, snacks, and energy gels. Participants can set up their 'camp' nearby to rest or socialize between races, creating a vibrant community atmosphere. While placement matters for the top contenders, the race focuses more on participation than traditional timing methods.
