Uwharrie 100 Mile and 100K Trail Run
The Uwharrie 100 Mile and 100K Trail Run takes place October 17–18, 2026 in the Uwharrie National Forest near Troy, North Carolina. The course is a 20.5 mile figure 8 loop of technical singletrack with roots and rocks under a forest canopy. The 100 mile event requires five loops; the 100K requires three loops.
Distances
- 100 mile
- 100K
The event is limited to 150 total runners across both distances. Because of the technical nature of the course, both races have a 36 hour overall cutoff. Entrants in the 100 mile race must have previously completed a 50 mile event within that race's established time limit; as exceptions, the Uwharrie 40 mile Mountain Run or Mount Mitchell Challenge may be used as qualifying races.
Registration details include a shirt size guarantee for runners who register by September 15, 2026, and registration closes October 10, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET. The refund policy issues 50% refunds for withdrawals requested by May 1, 2026; no full refunds or bib transfers are offered. Deferments are considered case by case through September 1, 2026 and, if granted, allow a single rollover to the following year; certain life circumstances may receive 100% credit toward the 2027 race.
Athletes under 18 must have parental consent on the event registration platform. No athlete under 16 on the event date may participate. The event is authorized under a Special Use Permit for the Uwharrie National Forest. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
