Lengths: 50K and 25K
The Fort Yargo Ultra is a 50K trail race with a 15.6-mile loop through one of Georgia's most beautiful State Parks, Fort Yargo. Voted some of the best single-track trails in Georgia, this race will be 100% on trails with the 50K completing 2 loops of the 15.6-mile loop. The rolling hills surrounding the lake are the perfect backdrop for a fast finishing time if you are a competitive athlete and a great beginner race for someone's first Ultra. Start and Finish at the historic Fort Yargo State Park just outside Atlanta, GA. May is the perfect time with warm-weather just starting temps in the 80s. One loop on the same trails gives you the 25K option.
There will also be a canine run for those that want to bring their dogs out to join the fun. Canine runners will register for the 25K, and start 15 minutes after the regular 25K start.
