50K Details:
Pre-race Meeting 7:45am and Race Start Time 8:00am
Our 50K course was designed to hit all the best views in the northern Michaux! You’ll be running through sandstone boulder ridgelines, woodland savannah, Mountain Laurel and wild blueberry, on a perfect blend of classic windy single track, smooth pine needle carpet, grassy double track, and technical, toe-grabbing forest paths.
