🩸 STONE MOUNTAIN MASSACRE A Trial of Blood, Stone, and Shadow Roaring Gap, North Carolina | Presented by Dirty Wolf Racing 🌑 The Call of the Mountain In the ancient lands of Stone Mountain, where wind howls like lost spirits and the trails bleed ice and fire, a sacred ritual awakens. This is no ordinary race. This is a quest — a trial etched in sweat and stone, where only the worthy may survive. Three paths lie before you: 8 Miler – The First Test 25K – The Blood Path 50K – The Full Rite of Passage But only those who attempt the 50K shall walk the full circle of power — and face the Six Stones. 🪨 The Quest of the Six Stones (50K Only) The journey begins with the gift of a Protection Stone, carried with you through every step. Scattered across the mountain trails lie Six Sacred Stones, one at each Aid Station — two guarded only by silence, the rest by watchers of the ancient ways. You must claim them all. No stones. No Blood Book. No glory. 🔮 The Sacred Stones Onyx – Shadow’s Shield: Strength, Balance Emerald – The Eternal Test: Immortality, Trial Ruby – Flame Within: Passion, Fortune Sapphire – Sky’s Light: Truth, Healing Diamond – Unbreakable Will: Purity, Power 📕 The Blood Book (If you buy it) Survivors of the full quest shall be gifted the Blood Book — a handcrafted relic to house the Six Stones and a finisher’s medal, formed in fire by BlueGill Pottery. No two are the same. Complete your Blood Book, and you complete the legend. 🗺️ The Path of Trials The journey begins near the Visitor Center. Follow the Bypass Trail into the Stone Mountain Loop, descend to Wolf Creek, and merge with the Mountain-to-Sea Trail. Ascend the 300 Stairs of Judgment, then return to the Aid Station — completing a brutal loop of rock, roots, and ruin. Elevation Gain: ~1,530 ft per loop Trail Markings: Red Ribbons & Yellow Arrows Expect: Ice, fog, mud, pain — and the mountain’s judgment. 🧃 The Sanctuaries Five Aid Stations: 2 Manned, 3 Unmanned Each holds a Stone Token Food: Pickles, bacon, candy, cereal, fruit Drink: Water, Tailwind, soda First aid provided Let staff know if you drop 🕰️ The Clock of Reckoning Park Opens: 7:00 AM Bib Pickup: 7:10–7:50 AM (Race day only) Race Start: 8:00 AM Race Ends: 5:30 PM Time Limit: 10 hours — no mercy 🎖️ The Final Blessing Each finisher receives a one-of-a-kind pottery medal — shaped by hand, chosen by fate. Yours, and yours alone. 📜 Rules of the Realm No dogs, no strollers No refunds for weather or wrath Walkers welcome — if they finish Trekking poles allowed Bibs must be worn on the front No unregistered runners 📸 The Legend Lives On Results: UltraSignup.com Photos: 1 week after the race Share your tale: Instagram: @dirty_wolf_racing Hashtags: #roaringgap50k #dirtywolfracing 🌒 Will You Answer the Call?
