Description: |
4th Annual Riverfront 24 Endurance Run Walk Fundraiser for Suffolk County Homefront along the Peconic River in Riverhead, Long Island, New York.
This event has become a local favorite as it appeals to people of all levels. Come walk, run, or get crazy and endure 12 hours or the entire 24 hours.
So how does it work? Easy. Unlike many races, you choose how far, how fast and how long you want to go. The course is 1/2 mile long and you can loop around it to your heart's content. Walk or run - whatever it takes! Racers may compete solo or as a team with a limitless number of teammates. This is not a relay race so on any lap you can have as many teammates running/walking as you like.
For those looking for a bigger challenge, there's the 12-hour Enduro Run or go for it all and run for 24 hours straight.
The 24-hour will start at 12:00PM on Saturday, May 17, 2014 and end at 11:00PM on Sunday, May 18, 2014. There 12-hour Enduro will begin at 12:00AM on Sunday, May 18, 2014 and finish the same time as the 24 hour.
A 50/50 raffle will be held at the end of the run as well as gift baskets. Prizes and trophies will be given out to top solo competitors and teams. Bring your friends, we had a blast last year and this year can only get better.
Riverhead is located in eastern Long Island, at the mouth of the Peconic River. Riverhead is 77 miles east of New York City, accessible via the Long Island Expressway or Long Island Railroad. If traveling from the north, ferries to Long Island depart from New London and Bridgeport in Connecticut.
The event route is a half mile long circuit along the Peconic River (0.545 miles/877 meters). Registration and the start/finish line will be in the parking lot at the east end of the course.
Parking will be available for race participants. For GPS or online maps directions, the car parking entrance is located at 40.917210, -72.660969.
