Intro
Established in 2024, the NEO24 (Northeast Ohio 24-hour run) is the race that succeeds the very popular NorthCoast 24 (NC24) that existed in Cleveland from 2009-2019 and was held annually at Edgewater Park in the City of Cleveland, Ohio. Many of the people who put on the NC24 are now associated with the NEO24, including the talented Dan Horvath who was the RD for the NC24 from 2009-2015. Your RD, Larry Orwin and his race team are extremely excited to bring back this iconic race to NE Ohio for runners of all abilities. The race is for runners, by runners. We intend for the race to be INCLUSIVE and suitable for someone looking to complete their first 24-hour or 12 hour event (or running as long as they like) or for a seasoned ultrarunning veteran seeking to set a personal record. The aid station will be staffed by experienced ultra runners who know how to cater to the needs of endurance athletes.
The official course measurement is 0.996 miles, with 6 feet of elevation. and USATF Certified Course #OH24009JHP
The overall winners will be those who cover the most distance within the 12 or 24-hour time limit.
We on the organizing committee sincerely hope that all runners enjoy the NEO24 to its fullest.
This is a non-profit race and all our profits are donated through Running Forward Giving Back to families in need. In 2024 we donated over $5400.
Here is what the 2024 OA Winner (Pete Kostelnick) had to say about the race: "The NEO 24 is a race for everyone, whether it's your first ultramarathon or looking to put up a new personal best! Even in its inaugural year, the race atmosphere was electric with everything running smoothly by Larry and his team. The race course is beautiful and peaceful around Brunswick Lake, with the tiniest bit of "gain" to mix it up just a little. The amount of smiling faces and encouragement on that course have me already looking forward to coming back!"
Please let us know how we can help you enjoy it more!
