South Mountains Marathons

The South Mountains Marathons, organized by Tanawha Adventures, features a series of challenging trail races set in the scenic South Mountains State Park in North Carolina. Participants can choose from a 50K, marathon, or half marathon, each offering a mix of wide and technical trails, with significant elevation gains—up to 6,500 feet for the 50K. The event aims to showcase the park's beauty, support the Foothills Conservancy, and provide an exceptional race experience.

Runners can expect steep climbs, creek crossings, and a well-supported course, making it suitable for both seasoned and novice trail runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
