Uwharrie 100 Mile and 100K Trail Run
The Uwharrie 100 Mile Trail Run will be held October 17-18, 2026 in the Uwharrie National Forest near Troy, North Carolina. The event uses a 20.5 mile figure 8 loop of technical trails with roots and rocks beneath a forest canopy.
Distances:
- 100 Mile
- 100K
Runners in the 100 mile event complete five loops; 100K runners complete three loops. The field is limited to 150 total entrants across both races. Because of the course technicality, a 36 hour cutoff applies to both events.
Entry requirements for the 100 mile event include prior completion of a 50 mile race within the race's established time limit. As an exception, the Uwharrie 40 mile Mountain Run or Mount Mitchell Challenge may be used as a qualifying race. Runners who register by September 15 are guaranteed their shirt size; registrations after that date are not guaranteed the requested size.
The refund policy allows 50% refunds for withdrawals requested by May 1, 2026. No full refunds or bib transfers are offered. Deferments are considered case by case until September 1, 2026 and, if granted, may be used one time for the following year. In certain unforeseen life circumstances, 100% credit toward the 2027 race may be applied.
Minors must have parental consent on UltraSignup and no one under 16 years old may participate. The race accepts an athlete's declared gender at registration; any challenge must be submitted in writing and will be assessed privately. The event is authorized under a Special Use Permit in the Uwharrie National Forest. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
