Pine Mountain Trail Run

Pine Mountain Trail Run

The Pine Mountain Trail Run takes place at FDR State Park in Pine Mountain, Georgia on December 6, 2026. The event marks the 46th running and is recognized by UltraRunning Magazine as an "Old School Ultra" event. A portion of proceeds supports FDR State Park and Georgia State Parks.

Five ways to experience the course:

• 10k Trail Open
• 19 Miler single-loop
• 40 Miler
• 46 Miler OG Invitational
• Virtual 400 Mile Challenge

The course is well marked and official state park waterproof trail maps are available. Trail surfaces are often rocky and leaf-covered, with rolling hills rather than long steep climbs. Trail elevation ranges roughly between 899 feet and 1,395 feet. There are a few minor stream crossings, generally ankle deep depending on conditions. Uneven footing may be hard on ankles and toes, and falls are possible.

The Pine Mountain Trail is open to other users on race day and is heavily used by local groups; runners are asked to be courteous when encountering others. Parking for runners and crews is organized at Liberty Bell Park pool side and designated lots; vehicles must be parked off the road and display the required State Park parking pass or pay the daily fee. Packets must be picked up in person; the event does not mail shirts, bibs, or packets. No refunds, transfers, or deferrals are allowed. GUTS members receive a $5 discount.
