About the race
The Southern States 200 takes place on March 17, 2027, in Delta, Alabama. It is a point-to-point mountain trail event that follows the Pinhoti Trail from near Dalton, Georgia to the summit of Mt. Cheaha, covering 202.41 miles with 27,933 feet of elevation gain. Runners have 100 hours to complete the course.
The course is fully marked with prismatic reflective flags, ribbons, and signs. Fifteen staffed aid stations provide made-to-order hot food around the clock; five of those aid stations also operate as heated sleep stations with sleeping pads and bags in a dedicated tent. One additional unstaffed water-only station is available on course.
