The Unforeseen

The Unforeseen is a unique ultramarathon held at Reedy Creek Nature Preserve in Charlotte, NC. This event features a random race distance determined by a dice roll just before the start, ranging from 4.5 to 27 miles, with each lap measuring 2.25 miles. The course consists of flat gravel and single-track trails, offering a fast and flowing route through scenic trails like Umbrella Tree, Sierra, Sassafras, and Dragonfly.

Aid is provided at the pavilion near the nature center, which also serves as the start/finish area. The race atmosphere is casual yet competitive, with prizes including a Damascus steel knife for the winner. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
