The premier 50K trail race in the Southeast SPONSORED BY: Rock/Creek, Arc'teryx, La Sportiva, Fast Break Athletics, Peak Fitness & PT, Chattanooga Brewing Company, and Chattanooga-Hamilton Rescue.

The StumpJump 50K presented by Bad Beard Events, takes place on 90% single-track course atop Signal Mountain and Walden Ridge. With gorgeous, jaw-dropping views of the Tennessee River Gorge, and lush coves of cascading streams, hemlock, and rhododendron, these sandstone-strewn trails offer some of the most spectacular scenery in the Cumberland Plateau region. This race is in its 21st running and has stood the test of time with locals and runners from across the world.

This is a perfect course for someone doing their first or 500th ultra.
3 things we guarantee:
1. Scenery

This race sells out every year SO sign up right now!


Aid Stations will be stocked with either Powerade or Gatorade, Chips, Pretzels, Fruit Snacks, Mustard Packets, Oreo's, Gels, Cokes/Ginger Ale, etc. Try to be as self-contained as possible.
