The 3rd Annual Endurance Hunter 100 mile Trail Run will start in beautiful downtown Blue Ridge, GA, and finish in Chatsworth, GA. THE ONLY 100 MILER THAT PROVIDES GPS TRACKERS FOR ALL RUNNERS! Running on the challenging Benton MacKaye and Pinhoti trails through some of the most beautiful sections of North Georgia. Brought to you by ARGEORGIA.COM, Fort Mountain State Park, and Fannin County Chamber of Commerce. Hunter Leininger (The Endurance Hunter) has designed a unique course with some of his favorite parts of the BMT, Pinhoti, and Fort Mountain trails. It will be tough! This is not just a race; it is an unforgettable event! The best time of the year in Georgia with temps in the 60's with Spring in full swing. Fully supported race with 10 stocked aid stations also, shuttle service available from the finish to Blue Ridge on race day if you have no support crew.

NEW IMPROVEMENTS FOR 2022: Now that Covid restrictions are easing, we have improvements in mind for our second year! Increased trail signage, hot food at some aid stations and the finish, a warming tent and changing tent at the finish, the option for finish line drop bags, and increased shuttle service will be added to the event to make our runners more comfortable and keep you going. Both distances will have GPS trackers so your crew will know where you are and your families and fans can watch at home!

There are no mandatory volunteer hours required for any of our races; however, they are welcomed and greatly appreciated.
