Table Rock Ultras

Table Rock Ultras - Morganton, NC

Table Rock Ultras is scheduled for September 19, 2026 in Morganton, NC and is organized by Tanawha Adventures. The event offers two trail race distances:

• 50K: race to Table Rock Mountain summit and back
• 30K

The 50K includes summit access and returns along a route with creek crossings, technical stretches, and varied climbs and descents. Course metrics listed for the 50K include about 5,700 ft total vertical climb and roughly 11,000 ft total vertical change, with approximately 12 miles of single-track, 9 miles of double-track, and 10 miles of gravel. The 30K lists about 4,000 ft total vertical climb and 8,000 ft total vertical change, with roughly 8 miles of single-track, 9 miles of double-track, and 3 miles of gravel. The 30K follows the same outbound route as the 50K and then turns and retraces after the second aid station.

Aid stations provide at minimum water, Gatorade, assorted soft drinks, and a variety of snack foods. Participants are asked to bring personal water bottles or hydration bladders because cups will not be provided. Aid station locations are listed for each distance, including one drop bag location on the 50K.

The race starts and finishes at Steele Creek Park and Family Campground; a primitive camping area is reserved and a discount code TRU2026 is offered for certain bookings. Entry is restricted to participants age 18 and over. The event is permitted through the US Forest Service.

If the event must be canceled for reasons such as acts of nature or state COVID closures, organizers plan to run a virtual version on the actual course; in that case no refunds, transfers, or deferrals will be provided. The registration refund policy allows partial refunds up to 45 days before the event with a tiered schedule and specific exceptions for military deployment, pregnancy deferment, and bereavement deferments.
