๐ฉธ STONE MOUNTAIN MASSACRE
A Trial of Blood, Stone, and Shadow
Roaring Gap, North Carolina | Presented by Dirty Wolf Racing
๐ The Call of the Mountain
In the ancient lands of Stone Mountain, where wind howls like lost spirits and the trails bleed ice and fire, a sacred ritual awakens.
This is no ordinary race. This is a quest โ a trial etched in sweat and stone, where only the worthy may survive.
Three paths lie before you:
8 Miler โ The First Test
25K โ The Blood Path
50K โ The Full Rite of Passage
But only those who attempt the 50K shall walk the full circle of power โ and face the Six Stones.
๐ชจ The Quest of the Six Stones (50K Only)
The journey begins with the gift of a Protection Stone, carried with you through every step.
Scattered across the mountain trails lie Six Sacred Stones, one at each Aid Station โ two guarded only by silence, the rest by watchers of the ancient ways.
You must claim them all.
No stones. No Blood Book. No glory.
๐ฎ The Sacred Stones
Onyx โ Shadowโs Shield: Strength, Balance
Emerald โ The Eternal Test: Immortality, Trial
Ruby โ Flame Within: Passion, Fortune
Sapphire โ Skyโs Light: Truth, Healing
Diamond โ Unbreakable Will: Purity, Power
๐ The Blood Book (If you buy it)
Survivors of the full quest shall be gifted the Blood Book โ a handcrafted relic to house the Six Stones and a finisherโs medal, formed in fire by BlueGill Pottery. No two are the same.
Complete your Blood Book, and you complete the legend.
