The course is a short loop on cinders, run as many times as you want over the full event window. The surface is packed and mostly flat, though gaiters are worth considering if you want to keep debris out of your shoes. You can start fresh in the morning, chase a specific stretch of hours, or simply run until you are done and walk away.

The Crooked Road 24 Hour Ultra has been held every year since at least 2011. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Almost certainly not. Half the race field finished slower than 12:57:47, and the last recorded finisher came in around 23:59:45, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
A field of 205 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first race, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The race winner ran 2:17:49 while the median finisher took 12:57:47. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
