Stone Mountain Massacre

The Stone Mountain Massacre is a challenging trail running event held in Roaring Gap, North Carolina, featuring distances of 50K, 25K, and 8 miles. The 50K race follows a point-to-point loop through Stone Mountain State Park trails and the Mountain to Sea Trail, with an elevation gain of 1,530 feet per loop. Runners navigate rocky, icy, and root-filled terrain, collecting six symbolic stones from aid stations along the route.

Aid stations offer food, hydration, and first aid. The race atmosphere is rugged and demanding, with unique handmade pottery medals awarded to finishers. Trekking poles are allowed, and weather conditions can vary. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
