The 50 Miler runs from Porter’s Gap to Lake Howard, combining about 31 miles of single-track on the Pinhoti Trail, roughly six miles on forest service roads, and about 12 miles on Sylaward Trails. The course crosses Horn Mountain and Rebecca Mountain with multiple overlooks and about 5,171 feet of elevation gain. The time limit for the 50 Miler is 16 hours.
The 50K follows the same initial single-track section as the 50 Miler, then continues on a forest service road before joining Sylaward Trails to the finish. The 50K time limit is 10 hours. The 25K uses Sylaward Trails and Bill’s Creek Loop as an out-and-back style route.

Bus transport from Lake Howard to the 50 Miler start is available for a fee. Restrooms are available at start and finish. Results will be posted on Ultrasignup.
