Grit & Grace Trail Race
The event offers two timed endurance formats held at Camp GuilRock in Reidsville, North Carolina: a twelve hour trail run and a six hour weighted ruck. Both events use an approximately 3 mile loop that combines grassy trail, gravel road, single track, and forest road with mostly gentle rolling terrain and stretches of flat ground.
For the twelve hour run, competitors complete as many loops as they can during the twelve hour period. Total mileage is updated after each finished lap. There is one aid station at the start line area stocked with Tailwind, LMNT, and water; participants may bring additional nutrition. Laps must be finished to be recorded, and runners check in with race staff after each lap. Course direction reverses periodically, and a light source is required because the event takes place in February. Canine partners are welcome in the twelve hour event.
The six hour ruck uses the same loop and aid station. Competitors carry weight in a ruck or vest and are scored by pound-miles (Kz), with packs weighed before the start and at check points; the official lap weight is the lesser weigh-in for that lap. Course direction also reverses midevent, and a light source is highly encouraged.
Camp GuilRock is a 210 acre camp where camping off course is available. Check-in and check-out operations and a staffed transition area are used for lap tracking, and all finishers receive an award listing their result. Overall awards are given for first and second male and female. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
