Uwharrie 100 Mile Trail Run
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, North Carolina, starting from Wood Run Trailhead. The course is a 20.5 mile figure eight loop of technical singletrack with roots and rocks beneath a dense forest canopy.
Distances:
- 100 Mile: five laps of the 20.5 mile figure eight loop.
- 100K: three laps of the 20.5 mile figure eight loop.
The event limits the field to 150 total runners across both distances. Because of the trail conditions, both races have a 36 hour cutoff. Entry policies require 100 mile entrants to have previously completed a 50 mile event within that race’s established time limit; exceptions include specified races accepted as qualifiers.
Registration details include a shirt size guarantee for runners who register by September 15, 2026. The refund policy offers 50 percent refunds for withdrawal requests submitted by May 1, 2026; no full refunds or bib transfers are provided. Deferment requests are considered case by case until September 1, 2026 and, if granted, allow a single roll over to the following year. Certain unforeseen life circumstances may receive full credit toward the 2027 event.
Participants under 18 must provide parental consent via the event registration system; no participant under 16 may enter either race. The event is authorized under a Special Use Permit for the Uwharrie National Forest. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
