BUTS Bearly Ultra
The BUTS Bearly Ultra is a trail running event at Red Mountain Park in Birmingham, AL. It offers two distance options:
- 27 mile double loop course
- 13.5 mile single loop course
The 13.5 mile loop has around 1,500 feet of elevation gain and showcases varied trail surfaces, including old rail beds and root-filled single track. The 27 mile distance consists of two laps of that loop. The route passes scenic points such as Grace's Gap Overlook and features trail elements noted on site, including steep sections, BMRR trail segments, old mine shaft areas, and seating features along the way.
Aid stations are located on the loop and are passed multiple times; the finish area includes hot food, cold drinks, and a unique finisher medal. Timing is handled with ankle-worn HuTags, and taller socks are recommended to secure the tags. Bib pickup is available the morning of the event at Red Mountain Park.
The event is organized by BUTS. A portion of entry fees is donated back to Red Mountain Park, which is part of Jeff Co Greenways. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
