The Fort Yargo Ultra is a 50K trail race with a 15.6-mile loop through one of Georgia's most beautiful State Parks, Fort Yargo. Voted some of the best single track trails in Georgia, this race will be 100% on trails with the 50K completing 2 loops of the 15.6-mile loop. The rolling hills surrounding the lake are the perfect backdrop for a fast finishing time if you are a competitive athlete and a great beginner race for someone's first Ultra. Start and Finish at the historic Fort Yargo State Park just outside Atlanta, GA. Memorial weekend is the perfect time with warm-weather just starting temps in the 80s. A single loop of the same trails gives you our 25K option. Brought to you by Fort Yargo State Park in Winder, Georgia. The best single-track trails, beautiful location, music, and food. This is not just a race; it is an unforgettable event!
