About the race
The Vol State is a challenging 314-mile ultramarathon from Missouri to Northeast Georgia, starting with a ferry crossing of the Mississippi River and ending atop Sand Mountain. Held in July, runners face intense heat and humidity as they traverse highways, backroads, hills, rivers, and valleys over three to ten days. The race is self-supported with no aid stations or crew vehicles allowed, requiring participants to manage their own food, water, and rest.
The course offers a grueling test of physical and mental endurance, with daily check-ins for safety. Finishing at "the Rock" is a profound and transformative achievement for those who complete this epic journey. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
