About the race
The Appalachian 200 / 100 is scheduled for March 10, 2027 in Franklin, North Carolina and is organized by Run Bum. The event offers two ultramarathon options:
- 200 mile
- 100 mile
The course travels through three states, moving from Upstate South Carolina into North Carolina into Georgia and finishing back in North Carolina. The route uses four trails, including the Foothills Trail, Palmetto, and the Bartram, and the race will donate trail work or money to the trail associations that maintain these routes. The published race route will be posted before the event and is subject to change.
Specific race details: Runners are required to carry mandatory gear, including a water filter. The 200 mile event is point to point, with a 110 hour cutoff, approximately 40,000 feet of elevation gain and loss, and roughly 10 to 14 aid stations. The 100 mile option comprises the first 100 miles of the 200, runs concurrently, and has a 39 hour cutoff, about 20,000 feet of elevation gain and loss, and around seven aid stations. Finishers of either distance receive a finisher buckle; the registration fee covers race entry and the finisher buckle only. Other items are available for purchase through the event store.
Field size and policies: Year one is limited to 150 total runners. Effective 8/25/2026, Run Bum Races does not offer refunds, transfers, race credits, or deferrals except in limited circumstances outlined in its Refund and Deferral Policy. Optional SPOT refund protection must be purchased at checkout and cannot be added after registration. Volunteer hours may be accepted for deferral under specified conditions.
