The Coyote Ugly 30k and 50k is a trail race that take place in the beautiful Cohutta Wilderness March 4, 2023. The race starts and finishes at Mulberry Gap Adventure Basecamp in Ellijay, Ga. The route for each distance starts the same way by following gravel road for almost 2 miles before you climb up Pinhoti 2 for 4 miles ending at a gravel forest service road that brings you to your first aid station. You’ll follow the gravel for less than a mile before your climbing again on Pinhoti 1. Pinhoti 1 is almost 4 miles long and takes you to the Bear Creek section of trail. A quick .2 mile out and back takes you to your next aid stop before you climb to the top of bear creek crossing several creeks (if you’re careful, your feet can stay dry). Once you’re to the top, you’ll find an aid station before the two distances split. 30k runners will descend gravel back to Mulberry Gap passing by Bear Creek overlook and Barnes Creek Falls with a total distance of approximately 19 miles and 2900 ft of climbing. 50k runners will descend gravel for .5 miles before hopping back on the Bear Creek trail and looping around the back side of Bear Creek on rolling double track. You’ll come back through the trail head aid station before you head back up Pinhoti 1 and follow gravel forest service road back to Pinhoti 2 through the last aid stop and back to Mulberry Gap for a total of 30 miles and 4400 feet of climbing.
