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. Established in 1927, the course features forested hills and mostly single-track trails with significant elevation gain of about 3,600 feet. Runners tackle two climbs up Double Oak Mountain, pass scenic landmarks like the 65-foot Peavine Falls, Maggie's Glen, and Shackleford Point, the park's highest elevation at 1,260 feet.

The event offers both 50K and 25K distances with no repeating loops, supported by multiple aid stations. The race fosters a rugged, natural atmosphere ideal for trail running enthusiasts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
