We are currently performing system maintenance on the registration system. We will be back up and running shortly.

We want to thank all who participated in the 25 Hours of Thunderhill in November 2023. We had a great time hosting this event for the 20th running and are always thrilled to see our returning teams and the new ones that join us for this epic race.
 
Based on many factors, we have decided not to run the event in 2024, and plan to return with an even more robust event in 2025. Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
 
We look forward to hosting you again for The 25 Hours of Thunderhill in 2025.
