The Race
Enjoy running for twelve or twenty four hours with autumn’s colorful foliage as the backdrop. The course twists and turns through Camp Brady Saunders 720 acres of rolling Piedmont woodlands, which has numerous meandering streams, and two lakes. 
24 Hours of Momentum proved to be a hit in 2008. This year RunRideRace has added a 12-hour event. 12 and 24 Hours of Momentum is a team-relay or solo running race that brings out the tenacious determination and adventure in every competitor! Runners compete to run as many laps as possible in a 12 or 24-hour time frame.
Make it a family affair! 12 and 24 Hours of Momentum is an all-day and all-night event for competitors and spectators. Bring your family and friends and set up camp or rent a cabin. For athletes, spectators and crew, it will be a 24-hour festival where you will witness runners pushing their personal limits of endurance. There will be music, food, and games for spectators to enjoy while they root for their favorite team or soloist.
Whatever your level there is a category designed for you. You can choose to race as a Solo runner, or create a team of up to ten people. This year we have added a corporate challenge and running store challenge. Each participant is required to complete at least one lap.All Racers Receive

GENERAL RULES
Pacers
Pacers are allowed after 12:00 a.m. Sunday Nov 1st for solo runners only. All pacers must register by Saturday at the registration table and will receive a number and aid station privileges.
Captains
Each team must have a team captain. The captain is responsible for all the teams actions and will be held responsible for any rule infractions and all communications with race officials. Race updates will be communicated to the captain who is then responsible to inform all team members.
Pre-race Meeting Saturday Oct 31st 11:00am at the Start/Finish area
Although everyone is welcome, the team captain must attend the pre-race meeting. If the team is traveling from outside the central VA area please inform the race director about your arrival time. We will attempt to make arrangements for those who will be unable to make the meeting but the team is ultimately responsible for any information given at the meeting, not the race director.
Recording Laps
Racers must log-in on each lap at transition located at the Start/Finish area. The team 
“baton” must be passed from one racer to the other within the transition area and a timing official must witness. There will be a running countdown clock, so we’ll have updated teams accumulative times and laps posted.
It is the team's responsibility to verify that each racer is logged-in and logged-out correctly. Each racer must clearly state your number and wait until the race official acknowledges that your time and number are recorded correctly.
There will also will be random number checks along the course throughout the race. Races must have race number and “baton”.
Aid
Water and food may be supplied to any racer, by anyone, at transition and the aid station. However, racers must stay well clear of the course when taking food or water. A strict Leave No Trace policy will be implemented. 24 Hours of Momentum will supply an unmanned aid station with water, Accelerade and energy one place on the course and at the transition area.
LAWS/RULES
Federal, state and county laws and ordinances must be followed at all times.
DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED AT THIS CAMP AND WILL BE SENT HOME
Staying on course
While running a lap, racers must stay on the designated course. Any racer that goes off 
the designated course (i.e. short-cutting) will result in a disqualification of that racer's team.
Protests
Official protests must be in writing and can only be made by team captains only and must be made directly to the Race Director by 12:30pm on Sunday Nov 1st. Results are final as of 12:45pm Sunday Nov 1st.
Race Director
The race director has the final say in any ruling, including rulings made by the co-director.
Quiet Hours
Quiet hours at night, will be imposed from 11:00 p.m. Saturday until 6:00 a.m. Sunday. During this time, noise must be kept to a minimum but the fun will continue. We will let the music play all night but at a reduced level.
Night Running
Racers entering the course 1 1/2 hours before sunset on Saturday and up to one-half hour before sunrise on Sunday carry a light source and it must be in good working order.
Consecutive Laps
A racer may run consecutive laps, but must log-out at transition after his first lap in order to log-in for his second lap. If the racer does not do this, only one lap will be counted. Solo racers will do this every lap.
Baton
If a “baton” is lost during a lap, teams may be issued a new “baton” but will have to start a new lap at the transition. Any distance run on a the started lap previous to the loss of the baton will be void.
Teams have the option to cancel a partial lap once it has started. Racers must notify the transition that a new runner is beginning and must log-in and start at transition. The canceled lap does not count as a completed lap.
Finish/Awards
Racers must complete his/her lap by 1pm. No partial laps will be counted. Each team's final placing will be determined by the number of laps the team has completed and the order of finish times for the team's last lap. For example, a team that has completed 20 laps with a finish time of 12:20 p.m. would beat a team that completed 20 laps, with a finish time of 12:30 p.m. A team that completed 21 laps, with a finish time of 12:00 p.m., would beat them both. The awards ceremony will begin promptly at 1:15 p.m.
Unforeseeable circumstances
In the case of unforeseeable circumstances due to weather or other extenuating circumstances that prevents the safe continuation the race, race officials may end the race at any given time. Results will be base on team's placement at the time race officials determine. This rule will be implemented in the most extreme cases for the safety of the runners or officials.
