Oak Mountain 50k

The Oak Mountain 50K is a challenging ultramarathon held annually at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, Alabama, the state's largest park. The 50K course features approximately 3,600 feet of elevation gain, running through forested hills and mostly single-track trails, including two climbs to the top of Double Oak Mountain. Runners pass scenic landmarks such as Peavine Falls, a 65-foot waterfall, Maggie's Glen, and Shackleford Point, the park's highest elevation at 1,260 feet.

The event also offers a 25K distance. Aid stations are strategically placed along the course, and all finishers receive medals. The race emphasizes a natural, rugged trail experience without repeating loops. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
