Pine Mountain Trail Run
Pine Mountain, United States • 7 Dec 2025
Event overview
The Pine Mountain Trail Run takes place at FDR State Park in Pine Mountain, Georgia on Sunday, December 7, 2025. The event offers two distances:
- 19 miles
- 40 miles
The race traces sections of the Pine Mountain Trail and returns to the Liberty Bell park area for the 2025 course layout. The event marks 45 years since its first running in November 1980 and has been identified by Ultra Running Magazine as an "Old School Ultra". The race is organized by a nonprofit; net proceeds support FDR State Park and Georgia State Parks. Registration closes on Wednesday, December 3.
Course and logistics
Both courses run on rocky, leaf-covered single-track with rolling hills; elevation along the trail ranges roughly between 899 ft and 1395 ft. There are a few minor stream crossings that may be ankle deep. The course will be well marked and official waterproof park trail maps are available at park headquarters or from the Pine Mountain Trail Association. GPX and race planning files are provided for both distances, and the course is subject to change.
Parking for runners and crews is at the Liberty Bell Park pool side and other designated marked areas; vehicles must be parked off the road and display a state parking pass. Packets must be picked up in person; a Saturday packet pickup is scheduled at the Main Liberty Bell Park and packets will not be mailed. No refunds, transfers, or deferrals are permitted. Participants are advised to be prepared for variable December weather and to carry a safety light and cold/wet weather gear. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
