📍 About the Venue: Famous Reading Outdoors – Darkwater

Famous Reading Outdoors (FRO) is a large off-road recreation area in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, known for its extensive off-road trail systems including the Darkwater Trails. The property features varied terrain — coal-country hills, rocky climbs, mud pits, wooded sections, and challenging hills — making it well-suited for off-road endurance racing and recreational riding. Members and racers often utilize the trail networks for practice and exploration. ￼

🏎️ Race Format &amp; What to Expect

🕛 24-Hour Continuous Endurance Challenge
	•	Teams or individual drivers race without stopping for a full 24-hour period — testing vehicle durability, driver stamina, navigation skill, and strategy.
	•	Racing continues through day and night, often requiring headlamps and lights after sunset.
	•	Similar endurance events pit competitors against both terrain and fatigue, with strategic pit stops for fuel, tire changes, and driver swaps.

🚩 Terrain
	•	Expect a mix of rugged, technical trails, including mud, rock shelves, hill climbs, and wooded single-track/intermediate surfaces.
	•	The Darkwater Trail System is known for its challenging off-road sections ideal for long-distance endurance competition. ￼

🛠️ Classes &amp; Teams
	•	Typically, endurance racing includes categories such as Pro, Amateur, Stock, Modified, and Team entries where drivers share the same vehicle.
	•	Multiple classes allow a spectrum from first-time racers to seasoned pros.

🏕️ Event Atmosphere
	•	Beyond the main race, such weekends often include:
	•	Camping for racers and crews
	•	Vendor displays, food trucks &amp; support services
	•	Pre-race briefings and race operations meetings
	•	Spectators and support crews can watch segments of the race.

(Detailed class formats and registration specifics are usually published closer to the event on the official event site or NORES schedule.)

📅 How This Fits With Prior Events

In 2025, the Darkwater Trail System hosted the SXS 12-Hour Endurance Race (World’s Toughest 12 Hour) as part of NORES, attracting UTV racers for a unique endurance challenge on rugged coal-country terrain at Famous Reading Outdoors. It included poker runs, extreme bingo, and additional off-road activities as part of the event weekend. ￼

The 2026 24-Hour race is a natural extension of that endurance format — expanding the challenge from 12 hours up to a full 24 hours.

📌 Practical Notes &amp; Tips

Tickets &amp; Registration:
	•	Race entries (for competitors) and spectator passes are typically sold through the FRO Events ticketing platform and/or NORES race registration sites. Early registration is recommended for endurance events. ￼

Camping &amp; Access:
	•	Camping space for crews and racers is standard at FRO events, and many participants arrive Thursday or Friday to set up pits and staging areas.

Membership Requirement:
	•	FRO often requires membership or daily passes for access to trail property — race weekends are usually covered through event-specific access tickets.
