This is your perfect opportunity to either use this event as a tune up for an upcoming 50 or 100 mile race, or just to log some good single track trail miles and not worry about a DNF.

Black Mountain Ultra Traverse
October 5, 2024
The Black Mountain Ultra Traverse is as tough as it gets. This will be one of the toughest, yet most gratifying races you have ever completed. From the time you start you will be immediately challenged with a long grueling climb to the summit of Mt. Mitchell, the tallest peak East of the Mississippi. From there you will continue to climb multiple 6,000′ mountains in some of the toughest terrain the Beast Coast has to offer, all this with no aid or support for the entire event. In order to register, runners will have to complete a trail race of at least 50K in distance within the last three years. Please note that this race was inspired of the mentality of winter ultra-races, a low key, no frills race that requires you to be 100% comfortable being alone and self-sufficient. You will be required to filter your water from only a few reliable streams that are along the course. You will have a total of 19 hours to complete this race. This event has both a 48 Mile event and a 24 Mile event.

Chris and I love spending time outdoors whether we are running, mountain biking or hiking and exploring new trails with our two children, James and Emma. We all enjoy participating in local running events and meeting great friends in the process has been such a bonus. The running community provides such a wonderful outlet and I like being able to give back by directing a run at the State Park that everyone can enjoy.
