Southern States 200
The Southern States 200 is a unique, point-to-point mountain trail ultramarathon held in the southeastern U.S., following the Pinhoti Trail from near Dalton, Georgia to Mt. Cheaha, Alabama's highest peak. Covering 203.1 miles with nearly 28,000 feet of elevation gain, runners have 100 hours to complete the course.
The race features 15 full aid stations offering made-to-order food and medical support, including five heated sleep stations. A 100-mile race option starts at the midpoint, finishing alongside the 200-mile runners. The event emphasizes endurance, camaraderie, and personal challenge over competition, set in scenic, rugged terrain.
A training camp and volunteer opportunities enhance the experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
