Dam Yeti 50

Dam Yeti 50 is an annual ultramarathon in Abingdon, Virginia, offering 50‑mile and 55K distances, plus the Pepsi Challenge 25K on Sunday. Marketed as the fastest ultra course in the country, it runs point‑to‑point down Virginia’s legendary trail, with a downhill start into Damascus and the famed 'broken Pepsi machine' lore between Damascus and Alvarado. The 50‑mile race is an out‑and‑back with pacer pickup; the 55K is a straight shot to the finish at Sweetbay Brewing Co.

The event is cupless (hydration pack/bottle mandatory), well supported by crew access and shuttles, and part of the From Start to Heart series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
