Lookout Mountain Trail Race

Lookout Mountain, United States • 20 Dec 2025

The Lookout Mountain Trail Race, held at Covenant College atop Lookout Mountain, Georgia, features challenging courses with stunning views. The event offers three distances: a 50-mile ultra, an 18-mile race, and a demanding 10K. The 50- and 18-mile courses share much of the route, traversing exposed bluff lines with vistas spanning up to five states on clear days.

Runners encounter multiple creek crossings, lush forests, and the impressive 120-foot Lula Falls. Aid stations provide hot soup and Southern hospitality, enhancing the race atmosphere. The 10K combines fast cross-country trails with narrow, scenic creekside paths and steep climbs, making it a tough but rewarding challenge for trail runners.
