Lake Yahou 50K

Lake Yahou is a trail race near Anniston, Alabama, held at Lake Yahou (370 Lake Yahou Rd, Anniston, AL 36205) with three distances: 50K, 10 Miler, and 5.5 Miler. The 50K runs three loops totaling roughly 3,000 feet of elevation gain, with a 10-hour cutoff; the 10 Miler climbs about 1,000 feet; the 5.5 Miler features roughly 551 feet. The mostly non-technical, single-track dirt course includes rocks and roots but remains highly runnable for both beginners and seasoned runners.

Two fully stocked aid stations service the route; the event is cupless, so participants bring a container. Finisher perks include a hand-painted rock, and top finishers receive awards. Post-race festivities include music, food, and beverages.

Early registrants receive long-sleeve shirts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
