24 hour run

Route map of the 12 + 24 hour run Basel, Switzerland

The 24-hour run is a form of ultramarathon in which the runners cover the longest possible distance within 24 hours. Relays can also compete.

Brief description

As a rule, the course consists of a (usually officially measured) 1 to 3 km long lap in which the runners repeatedly pass the starting point, where there is usually a refreshment point. The run can also take place on a 400 m lane or in a hall . As soon as the race is over, the runners must stop until the distance they covered on the last started lap has been measured.

Shorter multi-hour runs, which are considered ultra marathons, are the 6 and 12 hour runs (often integrated into a longer competition), but there are also longer runs over 72 hours or six days.

history

The 24-hour race as a competition is said to have been started in 1806 by a duel between Abraham Wood and Robert Barclay Allardice , also known as Captain Barclay, with Wood getting out after 35 kilometers and Barclay is said to have run 216 kilometers. In 1823 Russell, a young Irishman, covered 204 kilometers in 24 hours. From the 1870s, 6-day runs and 24-hour distances became popular.

Pure 24-hour runs from the end of the 19th century are documented by the German Ultramarathon Association (DUV), such as the race of Achille Bargossi who ran 165 kilometers against a horse in Rome on June 9 and 10, 1879, or the 24 heures de Neuilly (France) from September 30 to October 1, 1892, in which five men covered between 125.1 and 169.5 kilometers.

World records

The men's 24-hour world record was set by Yiannis Kouros (303.506 km, 1997, Adelaide , track), the women's Edit Berces (250.106 km, 2002, Verona , track). The German records are held by Wolfgang Schwerk (276.209 km, 1987, Cologne ) and Sigrid Lomsky (243.657 km, 1993, Basel , also the world record in the 24-hour road race).

World championships

In 1990 the IAU hosted the 1st International 24 Hour Championships on February 3rd and 4th in Milton Keynes ( England ) . A single IAU World 24 Hours Track Championships was held in Verona ( Italy ) in 2001 in conjunction with the 7th Lupatotissima 24 ore . In 2003 the IAU World 24 Hours Challenge with team evaluation was established in connection with the IAU European 24 Hours Challenge . The German Athletics Association (DLV) also recognized the World and European Championships in the 24-hour run in 2003. The 24h World Challenge was upgraded to an official World Championship in 2010 in consultation with the IAAF .

Since 2015, the world championship has been held in alternation with the 100 km road running world championship .

European championships

The 24-hour run-European Championships (ger .: IAU European Championships 24 hours) were introduced in 1992 by the IAU and welcomed initially IAU European 24 Hours Challenge . The competition was initially a road race , with the exception of 1999, which was held on the track , which is why it was initially not counted.

The team scores are determined by adding the distances covered by the three leading runners. From 2003 to 2005 and from 2009 to 2015 the competition took place together with the 24-hour running world championships (then called the IAU World 24 Hours Challenge ).

German championships

In Germany, the German Ultramarathon Association has been organizing German championships every year since 1989 . The German championships in the 24-hour run are road races.

24-hour Spitzhaus stairway in Radebeul 2012

The annual Saxon Mt. Everest stair marathon in Radebeul is run as a 24-hour run. The title holder Andreas Allwang from Germany covered 156 laps in this time in 2015, which corresponded to a running distance of over 130 kilometers. At the same time, he had covered an altitude of over 13,800 meters (with around 62,000 steps). In 2016, the German Ulli Baars won the women with 121 rounds.

Since 2013, the trail-running adventure team has been organizing an international 24-hour trail run as part of the Traildorado event, and in 2015 for the first time including the German championship in 24-hour trail running.
