Cannonball Run
Cannonball Run is a trail event at Broxton Bridge Plantation in Ehrhardt, South Carolina, organized by Palmetto Ultras. The course is a loop of 3.3 miles with approximately 49 feet of elevation gain per loop. The loop combines dirt roads, double-track trails, and grassy sections and returns to the start/finish line each circuit.
Event formats and registration options include:
- Last Man Standing with a 48 minute required lap cycle
- 34 hour race
- Kids registration for ages 14 and under
In the Last Man Standing format, runners must complete each loop within 48 minutes to remain in the race; the field continues until one runner remains, who then completes a final solo lap. Runners receive 5, 2, and 1 minute warnings before each loop. Participants who stop competing receive credit for miles completed and may opt into the 34 hour event.
Primitive camping is included for all runners and includes access to a bathhouse with toilets and hot showers. One aid station is located at the start/finish and will be stocked with snacks and drinks such as gummy candy, chips, pretzels, PBJ, sodas, coffee, water, and Skratch Hydration Mix. Meals will be prepared on site during the weekend; Friday dinner is on your own. Packet pickup times are to be determined.
The event proceeds rain or shine. There are no refunds, but bib transfers are allowed up to the Tuesday of race week. A one year pregnancy and postpartum deferral is available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
