Beast Of The East 100

The Beast of the East 100 is an ultramarathon event held in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, featuring multiple race distances including a 100-mile, 100K, 50-mile, marathon, and half marathon. The courses traverse the entire Crowders Mountain trail system, summiting both peaks and offering scenic views of the lake. The 100-mile race involves running a challenging loop multiple times with nearly 18,000 feet of elevation gain, while shorter distances cover portions of the same rugged terrain.

Aid stations provide a variety of food and drinks, and trekking poles are allowed. Pacers can assist runners after 50 miles in the 100K and 100-mile races. The event is recognized as a "TRAIL SISTERS Approved Race," encouraging female participation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
