Welcome EA24 runners!
The EA24 is a 6-, 12-, and 24-hour fixed-time track race held in scenic Southern Vermont. Bennington is 3 hours from Boston, 3:20 from Times Square in light traffic, and 4 hours from Montreal. Less than an hour from Albany International Airport (ALB).
​
Chip timing by Mike Melton, photography by Scott Rokis, fleece jackets for all distances, gourmet breakfast spread & awesome swag!
Before you ask, the EA24 was named for the Revolutionary War hero and Founder of the State of Vermont, Ethan Allen, not the place to buy furniture. We'll leave the couches to them.
Last day to guarantee a fleece: June 15
Last day to get your name printed on bib: June 15
​
Registration is capped at 80 total runners. Staggered starts - max. 65 runners on track at one time.

Staggered start times: the 24-hour starts at 9 AM, the 6-hour will start at 10 AM, and the 12-hour goes off at 9 PM. PLEASE NOTE the PM Start for the 12! The cooler overnight hours make the 12-hour a great opportunity to set a PR! Partial laps will be measured.
Covered table space will be available for out out-of-town runners. More portables than your wildest dreams. In addition, the MAUHS track boasts multiple flush toilets!! Outdoor hand-wash stations are located adjacent - please wash before you go reaching into those M&M's!

timing
Timing provided by Mike Melton, MCM Timing. The race will be chip-timed with live timing and a lap readout available. Live web tracking will be available for family and friends.
​
In keeping with the long tradition of fixed-time races, the Ethan Allen 24 is "go-as-you-please." You may stop, rest, or leave the course at any time, but the clock keeps running and you must reenter the course at the same place you left it.
