About the race
Stone Mountain Massacre is a trail running event in Roaring Gap, North Carolina, organized by Dirty Wolf Ultras and scheduled for February 6, 2027. The event offers multiple course lengths and a marked mountain loop that begins near the Visitor Center.
Distances:
- 8 Miler
- 25K
- 50K
The route follows the Bypass Trail into the Stone Mountain Loop, descends to Wolf Creek, and joins the Mountain-to-Sea Trail. Runners encounter rock and root terrain and an ascent that includes a 300-step section. Trail markings are red ribbons and yellow arrows. Elevation gain is approximately 1,530 ft per loop.
Five aid stations are located on course, with 2 manned and 3 unmanned stations. Each aid station holds a stone token. Available food includes pickles, bacon, candy, cereal, and fruit; drinks include water, Tailwind, and soda. First aid is provided on course and staff should be informed if a participant drops out. A 10-hour time limit applies.
The 50K includes a themed "Quest of the Six Stones": entrants receive a Protection Stone to carry and collect six Stone Tokens placed at aid stations. The optional Blood Book is a handcrafted vessel to hold the tokens and the pottery finisher medal, which is formed by BlueGill Pottery. Event rules note no dogs or strollers, no refunds for weather, trekking poles are allowed, and bibs must be worn on the front. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
