Lake Yahou - Anniston, AL
Lake Yahou is a trail running event organized by Dirty Soles Trail Races in Anniston, Alabama, held on October 9, 2027. The venue opened for recreational use in May 2022 and the organizer was the first trail race to start at the lake. The course uses mostly non technical single-track dirt with occasional rocks and roots.
Distances:
- 50K: three loops; elevation around 3000 ft; cutoff 10 hours.
- 10 Miler: one loop; 10.5 miles total; elevation around 1000 ft; cutoff 4 hours.
- 5.5 Miler: one loop about 5.5 miles; elevation around 551 ft; cutoff 3 hours.
The field is capped at 100 runners; a waitlist opens if the race sells out and entries move off the waitlist only when a registered runner cancels. Aid support includes a full aid station at the start and finish and either a self serve station or a full aid station near the McClellan Trailhead about 3.8 miles in, depending on volunteer availability. The event is cupless and no disposable cups are provided.
Each finisher who completes their registered distance receives a hand painted finisher rock. Awards are given to the top three female and top three male finishers for each distance. Packet pickup is available on race day at the start line from 7:00 AM to 7:50 AM. There are no refunds and no deferrals; registration transfers are allowed by contacting the organizer.
