24 Days For Team USA Virtual Challenge

Challenge yourself to getting some solid miles in, while helping the US National 24-Hour Team at the same time!  The team will have 24 hours to run as many miles as they can – you have 24 days to do the same!

On October 18, 2025 the US National 24 Hour team will compete in the International Association of Ultrarunners (IAU) World Championships in Albi, France. The team is represented by a group of 6 male and 6 female athletes who ran qualifying distances in a 24 hour time period. For more information on qualifying times and races click  here

Unlike the USATF athletes in shorter distances, ultrarunners are required to pay their own way to Worlds with very little help from the US team sponsor. Some athletes, despite their hard work, dedication and talent in this sport are unable to attend and compete on the world stage due to finances. This is where you come in! The folks at Pacer Travel, in partnership with Mike Melton (all star race timer and RD) want every athlete who made the team to be able to travel to France and represent the USA for Worlds without fear of how they are going to cover the costs – from flights, to hotels, to meals and nutrition. 

You get the chance to say you supported TEAM USA, rack up some miles of your own and get some swag to show off! 

Two options available – one for those who would like some swag, one for those who just wanna run and support the team. Everyone gets fun stickers! All profits go to TEAM USA. 

The challenge is virtual so run  or walk anytime, anywhere.
