Southern States 200
The Southern States 200 is a unique, point-to-point mountain trail ultramarathon held in the southeastern U.S., starting near Dalton, Georgia, and finishing atop Mt. Cheaha, Alabama's highest point. Covering approximately 203 miles along the legendary Pinhoti Trail, runners face nearly 28,000 feet of elevation gain.
The course is fully marked and features 15 aid stations offering made-to-order food and medical support, with five stations providing heated sleep areas. Participants have 96 hours to complete the race. A 100-mile option starts at the race midpoint in Cave Spring, GA, finishing alongside the 200-mile runners.
The event emphasizes endurance, camaraderie, and personal challenge over competition. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
