Lake Yahou 50K

Anniston, United States • 4 Oct 2025

The Lake Yahou 50K is a trail running event held in Anniston, Alabama, featuring three race distances: 50K, 10 miles, and 5.5 miles. The course consists mainly of runnable, non-technical single-track dirt trails with some rocky and rooty sections, offering a natural but accessible challenge. The 50K involves three loops with about 3,000 feet of elevation gain, while the shorter distances feature less elevation. Two fully stocked aid stations support runners, but participants must bring their own hydration containers as the race is cup-free. Finishers receive unique hand-painted rocks, and the event includes awards, music, food, and a festive atmosphere at the finish line.
