About the race
The Fort Yargo Ultra is a trail event held at Fort Yargo State Park near Winder, Georgia. The race runs entirely on trails, using a 15.6 mile loop through single-track sections and rolling hills around the park lake. The course is 100 percent marked and includes aid stations and timing.
Distances:
- 50K : two laps of the 15.6 mile loop
- 25K : one lap of the 15.6 mile loop
The event base is the Lake Pavilion at the Fort Yargo visitors center, with free parking and park fees included in the entry. Fifty kilometer entrants may use two one-gallon drop bags provided at check-in; those bags are available at aid stations #2 and #5. Gear may also be stored at the start/finish area, which participants visit during the race.
Additional features include a canine run that uses the 25K course and starts after the regular 25K field, aid station supplies, race shirts, finisher medals, free race photos, awards, timing, and a post-race meal. Race rules require following the marked course, punching flags for credit, using aid only where allowed for crew access, and carrying out any trash. Trekking poles are permitted. Entries are nonrefundable but may be transferred to another racer in the same event up to five days before the event. There will be no race day registrations.
