Fort Yargo Ultra
The Fort Yargo Ultra is a trail running event at Fort Yargo State Park near Winder, GA on May 8, 2027. The course is 100% on trails and uses one 15.6 mile single-track loop. The 50K consists of two laps of that loop while the 25K is one lap. The route passes rolling hills around the park lake and is marked throughout.
- 50K: two 15.6 mile loops, trail only
- 25K: one 15.6 mile loop, trail only
Logistics provided by the organizer include marked course, aid stations, timing, free parking included with the race fee, and packet pick-up at the Lake Pavilion before the race and on race morning. Fifty K runners may use two one-gallon drop bags supplied at check-in; those bags will be available at aid stations #2 and #5. Gear may also be stored at the Start/Finish area.
Finishers receive a medal and a race shirt. Awards are given by class with top finishers recognized in overall and age divisions; first place overall men and women in the 50K receive a free entry to the next year of the event. The event provides aid station supplies, race photos, and a post-race meal from Moe's Southwest Grill.
