Uwharrie Gold Rush

The Uwharrie Gold Rush is a challenging 50K trail race set in the scenic Uwharrie National Forest, taking place on October 19, 2024. Participants will navigate a technical 20.5-mile figure 8 loop, featuring rugged trails with roots and rocks beneath a lush forest canopy. Runners will first complete the southern segment of the loop before finishing the entire course.

With a limit of 50 entrants, the event emphasizes safety and preparedness, including a 12-hour cutoff time. Registration is required by September 15 to guarantee shirt size, and specific policies are in place for refunds and deferments. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
