24+ Hours of Brake the Habit

Prepare for an epic endurance challenge with the 24+ Hours of Brake the Habit, an exhilarating adventure race set to unfold on May 30, 2026, in the rugged wilds of Marlinton, West Virginia. This demanding event calls for teams of 2 to 4 racers to push their limits over 24 to 30 hours, covering an expansive 95-120 miles across diverse terrains. Unlike a traditional running race, Brake the Habit plunges participants into a multi-sport experience, combining trekking, packrafting, mountain biking, and navigation through the stunning landscapes of Pocahontas County.

The course promises a truly immersive backcountry adventure within the vast Monongahela National Forest, known for its extensive public lands, hundreds of miles of trails, and free-flowing rivers. Racers can anticipate a rugged and relatively remote journey through some of the eastern seaboard's most breathtaking scenery, making Pocahontas County a true "nature's playground". Typical race day conditions in late May offer highs around 76F and lows near 51F, with a modest 18% chance of precipitation, providing a challenging yet often pleasant backdrop for this continuous effort.

The 24+ Hours of Brake the Habit is more than just a race; it's a test of teamwork, resilience, and strategic navigation through an untamed wilderness. This unique event is celebrated for its challenging format and the opportunity to explore West Virginia's Allegheny Mountains, which offer unparalleled access to wild and remote terrain. While the specific host venue and detailed schedule will be announced closer to the event, participants can expect a fully supported experience designed to challenge both mind and body from start to finish.
