About this race

HKY 100 Mile Ultra Run

Experience. Camaraderie. Competition. 

Hickory’s inaugural 100 Mile Ultra Trail Race is for teams of 2 to 10 people and soloists.  This demanding course puts you or your team racing around the clock challenging the limits of endurance, pace and strategy.  The course consists of a 4-mile route taking you on double-track farm trails (believed to be old moonshine roads), to single track hiking trails onto the newly created Aviation Trail, then through Winkler Park into the Hickory Crawdad’s stadium where the start/finish line welcomes you back.  Over 15,500 feet of elevation awaits you for this 100-mile challenge. The route consists of approximately 70% trails and 30% paved. There are several short steep climbs and two longer climbs at .65 miles each (see course map).  The course will be well marked with cones, arrow signs and reflective tape for night running. Keep in mind this course will consist of off-road trails that include hills, descents, tight turns, roots, rocks and other trail type features.
