Uwharrie 100 Mile Trail Run

The Uwharrie 100 Mile Trail Run, held in the Uwharrie National Forest near Troy, North Carolina, is a challenging ultramarathon featuring a 20.5-mile figure-8 loop of technical trails with roots and rocks under a dense forest canopy. Participants in the 100-mile race complete five loops, while 100K runners complete three. The event limits registration to 150 runners combined for both distances and enforces a 36-hour cutoff due to the course's difficulty.

The race requires 100-mile entrants to have prior ultramarathon experience. The atmosphere is intimate and demanding, set in a lush natural environment, emphasizing endurance and trail-running skill. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
