Go Long

Clawhammer 50k

This 90% singletrack figure eight loop takes you to some of the most magical parts of the Pisgah National Forest.  High quality trails lead you atop sweeping ridges, rock outcroppings, over bridges, creeks, across wetlands, and alongside rushing rivers.  You'll glimpse Looking Glass rock from six different vantage points and climb and descend almost 6,500 feet over the course of 50 kilometers.  This is a tough course, but will be rewarded with excellent trail and fully stocked aid stations.

Short and Steep

Front Range Five(ish)

This 5.75 mile course is a good opportunity for beginners to hit the trails or for seasoned runners to show off climbing and descending speed.  Don't be fooled by the short distance though - there's over 1000' of challenging climbing!  This heart shaped loop doesn't set foot on pavement or road.
