Description

The Uwharrie 100 Mile Trail Run will be held on October 19-20, 2024 in the Uwharrie National Forest.

The race is held on a 20.5 mile figure 8 loop consisting of technical trails filled with roots and rocks covered by a lush forest canopy. Runners participating in the 100 mile event will complete the loop five times and 100K runners will complete three loops.

The registration limit for this event will be 150 total runners between both the 100 mile and 100K races.

100 mile entrants will be required to have previously completed a 50 mile event within the race's established time limit. As an exception, runners may use Uwharrie 40 mile Mountain Run or Mount Mitchell Challenge as a qualifying race. Questions about qualifying races can be directed to UwharrieUltras@gmail.com.

Due to the high technicality of the course, there will be a 36 hour cut off for both races.

Runners must register by September 15th to be guaranteed their shirt size. We will do our best to get runners who register after that date the shirt size of their choosing but we will not be able to guarantee it due to us having to place the shirt order by that date in order to have them by race day.

REFUND POLICY **PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE REGISTERING**

50% refunds will be issued until MAY 31st, 2024 for any registered entrant who requests to withdraw. No full refunds or bib transfers will be offered.

***There are significant up front costs to putting on a race of this size, and many of those expenses occur months in advance of race day. Thank you for understanding.
