Troy, United States • 17 Oct 2026
Uwharrie 100 Mile and 100K Trail Run
The Uwharrie 100 Mile and 100K Trail Run takes place October 17-18, 2026 in the Uwharrie National Forest near Troy, NC. The course is a 20.5 mile figure eight loop on technical trails with roots and rocks under a forest canopy. Runners in the 100 mile event complete five loops; 100K runners complete three loops.
The event limits entry to 150 total runners across both distances. Both races use a 36 hour overall cutoff due to the technical nature of the course. Entry rules require 100 mile entrants to have previously completed a 50 mile race within the race's established time limit; exceptions include the Uwharrie 40 mile Mountain Run and the Mount Mitchell Challenge. Runners under 18 must have parental consent recorded on the event registration form, and no athlete under 16 years of age on the event date may participate in either event.
Shirt sizes are guaranteed only for entrants registered by September 15. Registration closes October 10 at 11:59 PM ET. The refund policy issues 50 percent refunds for withdrawals requested by May 1, 2026; no full refunds or bib transfers will be offered. Deferments are considered until September 1, 2026 and, if granted, may be applied once to the following year. In certain serious life circumstances a full credit toward the next year may be granted and will be reviewed individually. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
