Lone Ranger

Individuals will do as many loops as possible in 24 hours. Unique ‘Philly’ awards for 6-loop (50 miles) and 12-loop (100 miles) finishers.

There will be a meeting for lone rangers before the race begins. The race director will highlight important race and safety information and any last minute changes. These meetings will take place approximately 9:15 Saturday morning at Lloyd Hall and announcements will be made throughout the morning.

To avoid lines and delays on Saturday morning, you are highly encouraged to pick up your race bag on Friday, July 18th from 6 pm to 10 pm on the rooftop at Whole Foods located at 929 South Street in Philadelphia.

If you absolutely cannot pick up your bag on Friday, you may do so on Saturday morning at Lloyd Hall between the hours of 8 am and 9:30 am.

Please remember, if you are fundraising in place of paying your registration fee, the money for your respective category is due by Friday, July 18th. You will not be able to participate in the 20in24 if your total due is not paid. If you need an extension, please email Maureen O'Toole.

There will be four re-energizing stations every two miles of the loop that will be stocked with plenty of food and fuels, bathrooms, sponges, medical kits, etc.

Food items include fresh fruit, Clif bars, GU, pretzels, chips, etc. In addition, Lloyd Hall will have more substantial food, such as pizza, sandwiches, soft pretzels, etc. for the longer rests in between laps.

Liquids include FUZE Vitalize (electrolye drink), Gatorade and GIVE Water.

if you want to bring your own replenishment on the course, you must have it at Lloyd Hall by no later 9:15 am on Saturday morning. We will drive it out to half-way point around the Loop. PLEASE make sure to put your items in an easy identifiable bag or container with your name on it. You may also store stuff at Lloyd Hall.

Lone Rangers will all start at 10 am and they will have 24 hours to run as many loops as they can handle. You will be identified by your bib color and each time you reach Lloyd hall, a 20in24 support person will record your time and loop number. Your loops will be recorded on a large counter board at Lloyd Hall to keep the public informed of the Lone Ranger loops.

Lone Rangers can start and stop at any point during the 24 hours to rest, eat, sleep, chill, get a massage, etc. Lloyd Hall is the central hub, but there are three additional re-energizing stations for support.

Picture of the Course Map. The course will be USATF-certified, but not until July 1, due to construction.

From sunset to sunrise, runners must wear some piece of reflective gear or paint. We also recommend that night runners carry cell phones. The course will be well lit and marshaled by bikes and support vehicles that will constantly patrol the course.

In the last two hours of the race, runners will have the option to attempt a partial lap instead of a full lap to get in as many miles as possible. At 10 am on Sunday morning, an air horn will blow at all the refreshment stations and a sweep vehicle will come by to pick up all runners still on the course.

Lone Rangers are allowed to have pacers run with them for support and encouragement.

Unique ‘Philly’ awards for all participants who accomplish 6-loop (50 miles) and 12-loop (100 miles). There will also be cash prizes for the top three male and female participants who accomplish the most loops.

All participants will receive a Goodie Bag with great 20in24 Nike memorabilia

All Lone Rangers must be at least 18 years old.

While we are encouraging participants to run on the path, West River Drive will be closed during part of the day, allowing runners to run on the street during that time. However, Kelly Drive will remain open for traffic and all runners must run on the designated path when on that side. During the evening hours, all runners must run on the path - no exceptions. For safety, we encourage participants to stay on the path throughout the entire race.

We recommend the following - some of these are more crucial for those running in the Gold or Platinum categories.

• ID
• Something reflective (vest, paint, tape, etc) required if running past sunset
• Hat or visor
• Cell phone - we recommend all runners carry a cell phone when running in the dark.
• Extra running shoes, shirts, shorts, socks
• Shampoo, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, towel
• Sleeping bag, blanket, pillow
• Sunglasses, sunscreen, hat
• Vaseline, running lube
• Water bottle
• Plastic bags for wet clothes, icing injuries
