Vol State

The Vol State is a challenging 314-mile ultramarathon starting with a ferry ride across the Mississippi River from Missouri to Kentucky and finishing atop Sand Mountain in Northeast Georgia. 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 tests physical and mental endurance, offering a profound journey of self-discovery. The event emphasizes resilience and independence, culminating at the symbolic "Rock" on Sand Mountain. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
