The Blue Ridge Ultra is a 50K loop trail race that is deep within the beautiful Chattahoochee National Forest of the North Georgia Mountains. It consists of 16 miles of the Benton MacKaye trail, 6 miles of hidden trails, and 9 miles of Forest Service roads with over 6,000 feet of elevation change. You will experience tough, and sometimes technical spots, single track trails, jumping over logs, creek crossings, steep ascents, and even steeper descents all while enjoying the leaves changing colors.
