Some ultras are about mountain passes, pristine singletrack, and aid stations stocked with gels and broth.
This one is about Slurpees, Big Bites, and how many 7-Elevens you can string together before your stomach files a formal complaint.
On July 11, 2026, Vancouver, Washington’s own Vantucky Trailrunners are rolling out one of the most gloriously unhinged endurance concepts we’ve seen in a while: the 24/7Eleven Ultra—a 24-hour, self-supported urban ultra that unfolds entirely across Clark County.
The premise is simple. The execution is not.
Runners have 24 hours to visit as many 7-Eleven convenience stores in Clark County as possible. Every calorie consumed during the event—food, drinks, coffee, questionable late-night choices—must be purchased at a 7-Eleven. No outside fueling. No aid stations. Just fluorescent lighting, rotating hot dogs, and whatever strategy you can cobble together between Slurpees.
Routes are entirely up to the runner. Participants must document each store visit with geo-tagged photos, manage their own navigation, and figure out how far the human body can go on a diet built from 7-Select snacks and caffeine. It’s part endurance event, part scavenger hunt, part sociological experiment.
As Vantucky Trailrunners put it, this is a challenge that’s “gritty, a little absurd, and deeply rooted in the local landscape.” It’s not just about running—it’s about urban logistics, fueling creativity, and seeing what happens when convenience store cuisine becomes the limiting factor.
The event is fully self-supported, though knowing Vantucky, expect plenty of “moral support” along the way. Locals are encouraged to cheer runners on if they spot them zig-zagging across Clark County—or simply pause mid-errand at their neighborhood 7-Eleven and enjoy the spectacle.
It’s weird. It’s wonderful. And it feels extremely on brand for a running group that refuses to take itself too seriously while still doing very hard things.
