Mountain Mist
Mountain Mist is the 33rd annual trail race held on January 23, 2027 in Huntsville, AL at Monte Sano State Park. The race is organized by the Huntsville Track Club and is contested over a 50K course on single track trails and park trails in the Monte Sano and nearby Land Trust areas.
The course features extremely rocky trails, mud and creek crossings, about 4,300 feet of climb, a steep section on the Waterline Trail that requires use of the upper body, and a rugged final six miles through McKay Hollow. There are six major aid and check-in stations along the route with standard aid station supplies, and runners are recommended to carry at least one bottle of fluids. Medical and evacuation support is provided by HEMSI HART Rescue Team and the Huntsville Cave Rescue Unit.
Registration is handled online via UltraSignup, opens October 1 and closes January 16, and the event accepts a limited field of entrants (525 accepted runners). No paper entries, no race day registration, no refunds, no entry transfers and no deferals are permitted. A strict 9 hour 30 minute overall time limit applies and checkpoint cutoffs are enforced. Prohibited items include strollers, bicycles, animals and unauthorized vehicles, and the use of headphones is strongly discouraged. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
