Cruel Jewel 100
The Cruel Jewel 100 is a 103.54 mile foot race held in the Chattahoochee National Forest near Blue Ridge, Georgia. The course is composed of approximately 94 miles of trails and 10 miles of mountain roads, and it is supported by 20 aid stations along the route.
The route runs from Blue Ridge to Blairsville and back. Runners encounter technical single-track trails, sections lined with ferns and old growth poplar trees, steep ascents and steep descents, an historic steel bridge spanning the Toccoa River, the Dragon's Spine, lush hardwood forest, rocks, roots and ridge lines.
The event records 33,000 feet of elevation gain and 33,000 feet of elevation loss. The race is organized by DUMAssEvents and is intended for experienced trail runners: there are qualification requirements for entry and strict cut off times at aid stations for participant safety. The event is listed as a Western States 100 qualifier and a HARDROCK qualifier. Live tracking and bib assignments are shared the week of the race, and a runners manual will be available in late spring 2027. The primary location listed is Camp Morganton in Blue Ridge, Georgia.
