A 12-hour race is a form of ultramarathon in which a competitor runs as far as they can in 12 hours. They are typically held on one- to two-mile (1.6-3.2 km) loops but sometimes are held on 400-meter (.25 mile) tracks. Some races are held on trails and others are held on sidewalks in city parks. Top runners will often run 60 miles (96.5 km) or more, depending on conditions. Some participants will have a crew to help them, while others set up a camp with their equipment and supplies near the starting area, with good access each loop.
