Race planning

Plan Bislett 24-Hour Indoor Challenge

Use the listed edition as your starting point. Each tool keeps imported race facts separate from the targets and assumptions you choose.

Listed edition: Nov 21, 2026 – Nov 22, 2026
Format: 24-Hour
Distance: 24 hr (official 100-mile split)
Local start time: 10:00 AM Saturday, November 21. In 2025 the doors opened at 7:30 AM and bib collection started at 8:00 AM.
Duration / cutoff: 24 hours, ending at 10:00 AM Sunday, November 22. At the end signal runners stop where they are and wait until their partial lap has been measured, which can take 10–15 minutes.
Crew and pacers: No pacing. Only runners and officials may be on the track, and supporters may not run alongside or give support outside the support zone; repeated violations lead to disqualification. Supporters may not take food or drink from the organizer’s service station.
Drop bags: No drop bags. Runners and their supporters share tables in the support zone on the sprint straight opposite the entrance, and may set up their own camping table behind them. There is no room for personal supplies on the entrance side.

Recorded facts reviewed Oct 20, 2026. Check the organizer’s latest rules. Calendar downloads use all-day dates and do not set a starting alarm.
