THE BLOOD ROCK 100
Yes, We are bringing back the Blood Rock 100 for 2024. The 100 will be an option but there are two requirements.
FIRST: We will have the 100 if we have 75 or more runners register for the race.
SECOND: We will have the 100 if we are allowed to use the Belcher Tract creating a full 50 mile loop. We are 99% sure we will be allowed to use the 50 mile loop. The 75 runners is up to you.
HOW PRE-REGISTRAITON FOR THE 100 WORKS
The 100 Mile race is set up with the "Pre-Register" option. This means runners can register for the 100 but you will not be charged until the two requirements are met and the Blood Rock 100 becomes OFFICIAL!

The start will be at 7:00 AM Saturday. The course will be a single 55K Loop, returning to the Cabins Aid Station at mile 34.1, the Start/Finish. 50 milers will then repeat the south loop of the course, heading to Terrace Dr Aid Station, the back to Peavine Aid Station and back to the Cabins at mile 50 for your finish. About 20 miles of the 50 will be on very difficult backcountry trails with some of the steepest climbs in the southeast.

After that date, when you cancel your registration, you will be given the option to rollover your entry until the next year or receive full credit that can be applied to any STR race in the next year.
