Pine Mountain Trail Run
The Pine Mountain Trail Run is set for Sunday, December 7, 2025 at FDR State Park in Pine Mountain, Georgia. The event offers two ultramarathon distances:
- 19 Miles
- 40 Miles
The race began in 1980 and the 2025 edition marks its 45th year. For 2025 the course returns to the Liberty Bell park area. The event is organized by a nonprofit; net proceeds support FDR State Park and Georgia State Parks. Registration closes on December 3. Pricing is listed as $75 for the 19 Miler ($95 after 10/31) and $95 for the 40 Miler ($125 after 10/31). There are no refunds, transfers, or deferrals. Packet pickup is scheduled the day before the race and on race day; packets are not mailed and each runner must pick up their own packet.
Course and logistics
The course runs on the Pine Mountain Trail single-track system. Trail footing is often rocky and leaf-covered; the topography is rolling hills with no major climbs and few flat sections. Trail elevation ranges from about 899 ft to 1,395 ft. There are a few minor stream crossings, roughly ankle deep depending on conditions. The course will be well marked but GPS mileage can be spotty and the route is subject to change. The trail is open to other users on race day and is maintained in part by local Boy Scout troops. Parking must be in designated areas at Liberty Bell Park (pool side) with vehicles off the road and a state parking pass displayed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
