Taking place in North Carolina’s Uwharrie National Forest, the Uwharrie Mountain Run offers one of the Carolina’s most unique trail racing experiences. What makes this trail race so unique? For one, the course is 100% single track! This is rare even for some high profile races, as bridle trail, double wide track, and even some small roads exist as a part of the course for many trail races. Not at the Uwharrie Mountain Run, where single track rules.
One other notable about this race is that it is a winter race. Taking place in February it is likely to be cool, which isn’t a bad thing when taking on a potential distance of 40 miles. After all, if it is between running that distance when it is 40 degrees vs a summer run of 100 degrees, which would you pick?
