Blood Rock 100 and supporting races
Blood Rock takes place at Oak Mountain State Park with the Meeting Center at the Cabins on Tranquility Lake used as the start and finish area. The event offers multiple trail race options that use new and backcountry sections of the park, including parts of the Belcher Tract.
The course features ridge-top views, valley floors, closed gravel roadway sections, single-track trails, secluded pools and waterfalls, and a notable climb known as the Crack-in-the-Wall that leads to Summit Lake. Aid stations are placed approximately every 5 to 7 miles and provide hot soup, hot food overnight, cold drinks (participants should bring a cup), and breakfast in the early hours.
