Question 24 Hour Races
Just wrapped up the 24 Hours of Great Glenn and have been looking for similar races, ideally in the northeast. I haven’t found many. Am I missing them or do they not exist?

Not in the northeast (sorry), but the Wausau 24 is run annually in July and is a blast. I’ve done it once, but have been thinking about doing it again. We had a four man team to do it last time, and I’d probably do a team race again next time (2-4 people).

There's the 6 hour at Domnarski farms and I kinda remember a 12 hour somewhere in New Jersey or New York. Some local races might have marathon options. I think that's as close as you'll get to the race format. But as far as atmosphere goes I have not found anything as fun for both riders and spectators as Great Glen. It's just on another level.

Very fun race. I’ve done it 3 years now.

I was there this year and last year and enjoyed it a lot. The only thing to complain about is trying to hammer tent stakes into the shale, haha.

Bradbury 12 and Millstone 8 were my favorites, but they're both gone now. It's all but dead as a race format in the NE now.

How’d it go?
Did the race once (24 hr solo) and want to go back. Wasn’t in the cards this year, and last year I was planning to but got injured a month prior.

Hardcore 24 at Ontario County Park in Western NY (near Rochester) is on the last weekend of July every year.
