About the event
Registration Opens Jan 1, 2024 @ 12:00 AM
The Goosebumps 6/24 Hour Run/Walk is an exciting, fun, and unique fundraiser put on every year by the Local Lupus Alliance. The organization’s purpose is to help grow awareness and to assist local patients and families affected by the disease. You can walk or run as little or as much as you like in the 6 or 24 hour time frame. This is the perfect opportunity to test yourself; walk one loop, stop and hang out, or run the entire 6 or 24 hours and get in a half, full or ultra marathon distance. You determine your goal! Some brave souls have actively participated for the entire 6 hours putting in over 40 miles and we have runners planning on getting in 100+ miles during the 24 hour event. That is what makes our event different from other races, it’s whatever you feel comfortable with.

If you plan on leaving the loop for an extended period, YOU MUST let the lap counters know that you are leaving the loop to rest, also YOU MUST check back in with lap counters to let them know you are starting up again. This is for your safety AND so we can keep an accurate count on your laps.
