Course Description

Unlike any other race in the area, this race will feature the iconic Lookout Mountain climb in Montreat and combines fast road racing with technical trail running. The course is an out and back from Lookout Brewing Company in Black Mountain to the Lookout trailhead. From there, runners will follow an epic trail route up and over Lookout Mountain that will challenge even the most seasoned trail runners. After completing the trail loop, runners will speed back to the Finish at Lookout!


Aid will be available at the Lookout Trailhead, at approximately mile 3 and mile 8. There will be water, snacks, cold beer and a food truck at the finish!

Awards

New for this year!!!! Awesome zip up hoodies, and a beer token (21+) for all participants. Special awards for top male and female finishers will be provided by Mountain Running Company and Lookout Brewing Company!

Parking

There will be NO parking for this event at Lookout Brewing. There are several free public parking lots in downtown Black Mountain within 2-3 blocks of the venue, as well as available parking behind Black Mountain Primary School. The parking lot at Lookout will be used as a Start/Finish area, so there needs to be space for a timing tent, food truck, and finishers having beers.
