About the race
The Vol State is a multiday road race scheduled for July 7 to July 17, 2027, held in the Sand Mountain region of Georgia. The route is described in the event material as a long point-to-point course that begins with a ferry crossing of the Mississippi River and finishes at “the Rock” atop Sand Mountain; the route distance is described as 314 miles and registration is offered in a 500K format with or without pre-race bus and hotel logistics.
Entrant options listed:
- 500K Bus + Hotel
- 500K Only
The higher cost "Bus + Hotel" option includes a guaranteed bus seat with lunch en route to Union City, a bed in a double occupancy room in Union City the night before the race, a bus ride from Union City to the ferry on race morning, and a parking spot at the finish line from the day before until an entrant finishes or withdraws. All entries include a last supper meal. The lower cost option is for entrants who provide their own transportation and pre-race accommodations.
The organizer uses a lottery and wait list to populate the field; withdrawals are replaced from the wait list. Refunds are available on a declining scale depending on the date of withdrawal, and wait list replacements receive refunds per that scale. Entrants must report their location to the organizer twice daily by phone or text; failure to check in will trigger a search. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
