The Crooked Road 24-Hour Ultra is a challenging and rewarding ultramarathon that tests your endurance to the limit. Returning to Rocky Mount, Virginia, this race takes place on a scenic, mostly flat 1.178-mile loop course comprised of a non-paved cinder track. The path winds through Waid Park, along the Pigg River, and around many of the athletic fields at Waid. More than just a race, it’s an experience.
Named for Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail, “The Crooked Road,” the race embodies the spirit of perseverance and the supportive community found along Virginia’s musical highways. Whether you’re aiming to complete your first ultramarathon or aiming to push your personal best, the Crooked Road 24-Hour Ultra offers a unique opportunity to challenge yourself and achieve something extraordinary.
Founded in 2011 by the Crooked Road running Club of Franklin County Virginia, the Crooked Road 24 Hour Ultra event had a successful run of 12 years, attracting runners from all over the country. After the 2022 race, with club membership declining the club dissolved and the race went into hibernation.
Fast forward to 2024, and Blue Ridge Racing earned the blessing of former Race Director Ricky Scott to bring back the Crooked Road 24 Hour Ultra in its same great location – Franklin County’s Waid Park in Rocky Mount, Virginia.
Blue Ridge Racing is well poised to revive the Crooked Road 24 Hour Ultra to its former glory and beyond. Owner Molly Bullington has over 18 years of race management experience spanning from 5Ks to multi-day adventure races, with the Blue Ridge Marathon as the most widely recognized race that she directs. With plans to incorporate relay teams and prizes for shorter time periods, the Crooked Road 24 Hour Ultra is set to be better than ever this year!
