Mystery Mountain Marathon & 12-Miler

About the event

The 18th annual Mystery Mountain Marathon & 12-Miler (aka MMM) features marathon and 12-mile trail races traversing difficult, sometimes technical, but stunningly beautiful trails, with panoramic views of fall foliage displayed on the surrounding mountains. The elevation gain for the marathon is about 5,500 feet runners will enjoy single track, rugged mountain bike, and smooth horse trails while running over and around Fort Mountain, passing the mysterious rock wall built at the top of the mountain over 1,000 years ago. But the highlight of the weekend, as always, will be hanging out by the lake with friends old and new after the race at our fun, low-key celebration. Join us! The event is located at gorgeous Fort Mountain State Park, approximately 90 miles north of Atlanta and 50 miles southeast of Chattanooga.
