Uwharrie 100 Mile Trail Run

Uwharrie 100 Mile and 100K Trail Run

The event is scheduled for October 17-18, 2026 in the Uwharrie National Forest near Troy, North Carolina, with access from the Wood Run Trailhead. The course is a 20.5 mile figure eight loop run on technical singletrack with roots and rocks beneath a dense forest canopy.

Distances include:

• 100 mile: five laps of the 20.5 mile loop.
• 100K: three laps of the 20.5 mile loop.

The total field is limited to 150 entrants across both events. 100 mile entrants must have previously completed a 50 mile event within this race's established time limit; exceptions include the Uwharrie 40 mile Mountain Run and the Mount Mitchell Challenge. Both races use a 36 hour cutoff due to course technicality.
