Event Description

Are you ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure through the heart of the Bear Creek Trail System in Robbins, NC?
If you're ready for a challenge, we've got one for you.
The superloop of Buzzard Rock Ultras is known for being the hardest 10 mile trail loop in Moore County.
Buzzard Rock Ultras is more than just a race; it's a journey through the most scenic and demanding trails the area has to offer.

Prepare to navigate a 10 mile loop that will push you to your limits with its rolling singletrack trails, punchy climbs, and scenic views along Bear Creek. Each loop boasts ~1,000 feet of gain (3,000ft total for the 50K) a trip to the top of Buzzard Rock, and a lap around the Robbins Reservoir.

Buzzard Rock Ultras is brought to you by the same team that has presented multiple events each year through the Bear Creek Race Series and the Bear Creek Trailathon endurance challenges.
This is our first time listing on UltraSignUp, the events are priced for accessibility, and we're as homegrown as it gets... but we don't skimp. You can expect the same level of effort and excellence that you would experience at any of our other events.
As always, the course will be well marked and aid stations fully stocked.

This is YEAR ONE of a brand new event we're introducing to the race series. With that being said, you can rest assured new course records are GUARANTEED to be set this year. Who says the record holder can't be you?



In the spirit of encouraging runners to try new and difficult things, this will be a "NO DNF" 50K! If you complete at least one lap and have to drop, you'll be moved to the 10 mile event to avoid receiving a DNF. That being said, this special grace will only be given because it's year 1 of Buzzard Rock Ultras. If this is your first 50K or you're looking for a race with a safety net, this is the event for you.

The cutoffs will be generous! 10 Milers have until the end of the event (50K final time-limit, 6PM) to finish. The cutoffs for the 50K will be generous as well (at miles 10 and 20) and will be outlined in the race-doc.
