Embark on a monumental point-to-point adventure across an entire national forest at the epic Swamp Fox Ultra on March 7-8, 2026. This unique event, presented by The Foot Store, is the only known trail race to traverse the full breadth of South Carolina's Francis Marion National Forest, offering distances from a 10K to a 100-mile odyssey. Each course is a demanding out-and-back journey on the storied Swamp Fox Passage, requiring strategic self-sufficiency as runners navigate flat, runnable lowcountry trails shaded by lush canopy, with the 100-miler covering approximately 104 miles of pristine wilderness. The event is deeply community-focused, featuring initiatives like the Trailblazers program offering half-off discounts for women in longer distances and a family-friendly youth discount.
Beyond the physical challenge, the race is a festival of Southern trail culture, with a Friday packet pickup at The Foot Store, fully stocked aid stations serving hot meals, and a finish line celebration complete with custom buckles for 100-mile finishers. A cupless, eco-conscious policy and optional GPS tracking enhance the modern, supportive experience, while free primitive camping at the Buck Hall start/finish fosters camaraderie among participants. This is more than a race; it's a pilgrimage through iconic Lowcountry landscapes, testing endurance and rewarding perseverance with an unforgettable sense of accomplishment and community spirit.
