About

Set in Mint Hill Park on Wilgrove, the OMR Ultra 24 Hour Challenge delivers a festive, Halloween-themed test of endurance on a compact loop that keeps runners close to the action. The course blends crushed gravel, wooded singletrack, and grassy trail, creating a varied rhythm from lap to lap as daylight gives way to night and the atmosphere shifts into a gritty, all-in celebration of trail running. Designed for runners chasing an ultra finish or aiming for 100 miles, this event is as much about strategy and resilience as speed. The format lets participants manage their effort their own way, making it a true mental and physical challenge, while the community feel, crew support, and playful costume energy add a memorable layer to the suffering.
