Dam Yeti 50
Abingdon, United States • 6-7 Jun 2026
The Dam Yeti 50 is an annual ultra running event held in Abingdon, Virginia, featuring a 50-mile race, a 55K, and a 25K "Pepsi Challenge." Known as the fastest ultra course in the country, it offers a point-to-point route with mostly downhill terrain, scenic National Forest views, and a unique feature—a legendary broken Pepsi machine rumored to dispense trail magic. The 50-mile race includes an out-and-back section with pacer options, while the 55K is a straight shot to the finish. The event is well-supported, cupless, and ideal for both first-timers and PR seekers. It is part of the "From Start to Heart" Appalachian ultra series.
