24 Hours at Lake Z

24 Hours at Lake Z

We are so excited to host the first timed event at Lake Z in Dahlonega!
This trail is a favorite of ours and locals. Known for it's rocky and rooty sections, steep climbs and descents, with a few runnable sections, it has a little bit of everything.

Aid Station Info

We will have one fully-stocked aid station with all of the usual ultra fanfare plus some upgrades that folks have come to expect at Dumass Events races. Will there be sliders at 3am? Probably. Vegan smoothies at high noon? Sure. A full pancake breakfast at sunrise? Absolutely.

Course Description

The course is a 4.63 mile lolipop consisting of steep climbs and decents, runnable ridge lines, and a few water crossings. With only 303 feet of climbing per loop, it should be easy to get 100 miles in 24 hours, right??

Event Location

The start/finish line will be at the pavilion on the Hwy 52 side of the trail. We will have gate access for participants to load and unload their gear (we will have a tent city area). Once gear is unloaded, all vehicles we need to be parked off-site. We will be providing a shuttle to get runners to and from the parking location (TBD, but will be in town and very close).

Community Contribution

This race is something we've wanted to do for a long time and it gives us an opportunity to give back to our community. We will be giving a portion of proceeds from this race to the Lumpkin County Park and Rec scholarship fund for youth sports.
