Coyote Ugly 30k & 50k

Discover the rugged beauty and Southern hospitality of the North Georgia mountains at the scenic Coyote Ugly 30K & 50K on March 7, 2026. Starting and finishing at the adventure hub of Mulberry Gap, these courses plunge runners into the heart of the Cohutta Wilderness, following iconic sections of the Pinhoti Trail and Bear Creek's cascading streams. The 50K route serves up a challenging 30-mile tour with 4,400 feet of climbing, while the 30K offers a slightly more accessible but still demanding 19-mile adventure with 2,900 feet of gain, both designed to be "a little hard" but beginner-friendly with generous cutoffs. The event is renowned for its exceptional aid stations, stocked with classic ultra fare and hot grilled cheese, reflecting a deep commitment to ensuring every runner has the support to finish.

More than just a race, Coyote Ugly fosters a warm, community-focused atmosphere where volunteers are rewarded with future race entries and participants are encouraged by the goal of a 100% finish rate. The courses showcase the best of Georgia's trail running, from gravel forest service roads to technical singletrack and stunning waterfalls, all within a supportive framework that welcomes first-time ultrarunners. This is the perfect early-season challenge for those looking to test their legs on authentic Southern Appalachian terrain while enjoying first-class organization and camaraderie. Lace up for a day where the climbs are tough, the creek crossings are refreshing, and the finish line feels like a celebration with friends.
