Vol State
Vol State is a self supported road ultramarathon of 500K (314 miles) held July 7 to 17, 2027. The route begins with a ferry crossing of the Mississippi River from Missouri to Kentucky and finishes at the Rock atop Sand Mountain in Northeast Georgia. The course runs along highways and backroads through small towns, hills, rivers and valleys; participants must manage food, water, rest and safety on their own during the multi day event, which typically lasts three to ten days for entrants.
The event offers two registration options: a lower cost entry without bus or hotel services, and a Bus and Hotel entry that includes a parking spot at the finish line from the day before the race, a guaranteed bus seat with lunch along the route to Union City, a double occupancy room in Union City the night before, and a bus from Union City to the ferry on race morning. All entries include the pre race last supper meal.
Registration closes July 1 at 11:59 PM ET. An initial lottery is scheduled for August 1, 2026 and a wait list will be maintained; withdrawals are replaced from the wait list. Entry prices are listed within a range from $456.12 to $695.75 USD. Entrants must report location by phone or text each day at 07:30 and 19:30; failure to check in will result in a search.
