Event Overview
The Mountaineer Rumble features a series of trail races held at Kings Mountain State Park in South Carolina. The event is centered around a 10 mile loop that primarily utilizes the CCC Multi-Use Trail, identified by its orange blazes. Each full loop consists of approximately 650 feet of elevation gain. Participants can choose from four distinct distances:
- 100 Miler: Ten full loops of the course.
- 100K: Six loops plus a one-mile out-and-back section at the start.
- 50K: Three loops plus a half-mile out-and-back section at the start.
- 10 Mile: A single loop of the trail.
The event provides specific time limits for the longer distances. The 50K has a 10-hour limit, the 100K must be completed within 20 hours, and the 100 Miler has a 32-hour cutoff.
Logistics and Support
The course includes two fully-stocked aid stations per loop. An indoor aid station is located at the start and finish line, which also offers space for drop bags. A designated canopy area is available at this location for crews to set up, as crew access is restricted to the start and finish area only.
For participants in the 50K, 100K, and 100 Mile distances, cabin accommodations are available on Friday and Saturday nights. Runners completing the 100 Miler may also access cabin space on Sunday for rest. A pasta dinner and pre-race meeting are scheduled for the evening before the main event.
Recognition
All finishers receive awards. Participants in the 50K and 100K receive medals noting their specific distance, while 100 Miler finishers are awarded a custom buckle. A special handmade award is available for runners who complete all three ultra-distances over any period of time. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
