Embark on an epic journey of endurance at the Delirium Ultra 24 Hour Run, set against the scenic backdrop of Beaufort, SC, on October 24, 2026. This unique event, celebrating its 14th year, invites runners to test their limits across 24-hour, 12-hour, and 6-hour timed races. The challenge unfolds on a USATF Certified 1.65-mile hard-packed trail loop, closed to traffic, winding through the beautiful, wooded landscapes of Lady's Island, showcasing the Lowcountry's local foliage and wildlife. Typical race day conditions in late October offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 76°F and lows near 56°F, and only a 10% chance of precipitation, providing a comfortable environment for sustained effort.

What truly sets the Delirium Ultra apart is its "cosmic" atmosphere, often encouraging black-hole themed Halloween costumes, and a vibrant "festival of self-elevation" featuring live local music to keep spirits high as the miles accumulate. Runners will find ample support at the single, fully stocked aid station located at the start/finish of each loop. This hub offers a comprehensive array of provisions, including water, Tailwind, soft drinks, fruits, sweet and salty ultra-snacks, Spring Nutrition, and hot foods like chicken noodle soup, burgers, and pizza throughout the night. The event is cup-free, so participants are required to bring their own hydration vessels.

For those tackling the longer distances, night running necessitates a headlamp or handheld light. The race provides convenient staging and primitive camping areas directly alongside the course for easy access to gear and rest, fostering a strong sense of camaraderie among participants. Beyond the personal challenge, finishers receive a coveted medal for completing their chosen timed event, with those achieving 100 miles in the 24-hour race earning a massive Delirium Ultra belt buckle to proudly display their extraordinary accomplishment.
