Vol State

Sand Mountain, United States • 10-20 Jul 2025

The Vol State is an extraordinary ultramarathon spanning 314 miles from Missouri to Georgia, beginning with a ferry ride across the Mississippi River. This challenging event requires participants to rely solely on their physical and mental resources as they navigate highways, backroads, and various terrains over several days in July's heat and humidity. With no aid stations or crew support, runners must manage their basic needs while confronting the mental and physical obstacles of the journey. The experience culminates at "the Rock" on Sand Mountain, where finishers often discover newfound resilience and accomplishment. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
