Hold onto your hydration packs, folks… It's time to meet your next Fall trail running tradition —the Flatrock 50k | 13.1 | & 50/50 Challenge! Harbins Park in the small and quiet town of Dacula, Georgia, will transform into the ultimate playground for trail runners! 
Remember when running was just… running?! Same. We’re big fans of grassroots ultras, so we’re going back to our roots & bringing you guys one heck of a fun, down-to-earth, no frills-chill, good old-fashioned trail race! 
We’re keeping the prices as low as we can, and the stoke as high as possible! So come on out to Georgia, kick back for a day of Southern hospitality and epic racing on sweet Southeastern single track! (Say that 3x fast.)

Beginner & PR Friendly

Are you itching to try your hand -err- legs at trail or ultrarunning? Or maybe you're on the hunt for a trail PR? THIS IS THE RACE FOR YOU. 
If you're looking for epic vistas or mega climbs and descents on mountains, that's not this! Flatrock 50k & half is as good as it can get for your first ultra or trail race, and hits the sweet spot of flowing trails with some hills that are just challenging enough to keep it interesting and still throw down some fast times! 

This is a true trail race! The route will take runners through undulating trails winding through miles upon miles of trees. The trails are easy to follow and are not technical at all. As for those hills, they’re nothing that will take you longer than a minute or two to climb!
The 50k race will consist of four different loops, with a variation of one loop repeated. The half will consist of two different loops. Both races will take runners to aid stations that are accessible by their family and friends.
