Located in Bennington, VT, roughly 3 hours from Times Square, Boston, and Syracuse, 4 hours from Montreal. Less than an hour from Albany International Airport!!! (ALB).

Pacers are not permitted.
The race is held in beautiful Southern Vermont. The track enjoys views of Mt. Anthony and the Bennington Battle Monument, featured in the race crest! Before you ask, the EA24 was named for the Revolutionary War hero and Founder of the State of Vermont, Ethan Allen, not the place to buy furniture. We'll leave the couches to them.

Course
USATF Certified & Sanctioned course/event + IAU Bronze Label 2019. Course certification number VT18004JK.
The course is a 397.63-meter all-weather, fully-lit track 6/7 lane track. 100k and 100-mile splits are also certified in both directions. There will be a turnaround every 4 hours.
Ample room to set up personal aid stations and trackside tables.
Staggered start times: the 24-hour starts at 9 AM, the 6-hour will start at 10 AM, and the 12-hour goes off at 9 PM. PLEASE NOTE the PM Start for the 12! The cooler overnight hours make the 12-hour a great opportunity to set a PR! Partial laps will be measured.
Covered table space will be available for out-of-town runners. More portables than your wildest dreams. In addition, the MAUHS track boasts multiple flush toilets!! Outdoor hand-wash stations are located adjacent - please wash before you go reaching into those M&M's!
On-site hot/cold showers and indoor space for crews will be available throughout the race!
Timing
Timing provided by Mike Melton, MCM Timing
The race will be chip-timed with live timing and a lap readout available. Live web tracking will be available for family and friends. Your bib must be worn at all times for laps to be recorded.
In keeping with the long tradition of fixed-time races, the Ethan Allen 24 is "go-as-you-please." You may stop, rest, or leave the course at any time, but the clock keeps running and you must reenter the course at the same place you left it.
Photos
For 2020, the EA24 will be shot by leading sports photographer Scott Rokis!! You may recognize Scott's work from events like the Tahoe 200, as well as his iconic runner portraits.

Fully-stocked aid station with all the traditional favorites: Hammer HEED and Perpetuem, sweet and salty snacks, hot food throughout the day and night, plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and local Vermont specialties. Of course, lots of maple syrup, too! We've doubled our ice capacity since last year if it's hot out there, and doubled our hot food capacity if your tummy gets a little grumbly overnight!
***CUPLESS RACE***
This is a cupless race! Please help keep things green by bringing your own bottle or cup. Plenty of room for personal bottles next to the aid station. Hot drinks in the overnight hours, so consider bringing a thermos or tumbler.
