24/24 Requirements

The 24/24 Team Challenge

The 24/24 is one of the ultimate highlights of the South Lyon Cross Country summer! Held over a continuous 24-hour period, athletes work together to run one mile every hour, on the hour, for 24 hours straight.

It is an incredible team-building experience, a true test of mental and physical grit, and a tradition where lifelong memories are made.

Participation Requirements

To ensure all athletes are properly conditioned and legally cleared to participate, coaches have set the following mandatory requirements for 2026:

• Summer Mileage Goal: Athletes must log and submit at least 50 miles between Memorial Day and the 24/24 in 2027

• Athletic Physicals: A current MHSAA physical exam must be on file with the South Lyon Athletic Department.

  • Current Clearance: The physical must be dated after April 15, 2025.  It will expire August 1, 2026

  • Looking Ahead: Please note that for the upcoming 2026–27 school year, a new physical dated after April 15, 2026 must be on file before August 1, 2026
