Blood Rock 25K and 55K

Blood Rock 25K and 55K

Before you register, understand; The Blood Rock 25K and 55K will likely be the toughest race of those distances you have ever run. Maybe, will ever run. But the run is a blast!!

Don’t try to set a PR. Enjoy the challenge.

The Race Starts at 7:00 AM, Saturday, December 2nd, at the Cabins on Tranquility Lake. All 25K and 55K Runners must park at the BMX Track and walk 600 yards to the race start.

The Blood Rock 25 & 55K races are Southeastern Trail Series Points races and take place at Oak Mountain State Park. Both races start and end at The Cabins on Tranquility Lake. Both races will start at 7:00 AM Saturday. The course for both races will be the same for the first 15 Mile. The 25 & 55K runners follow the north loop back to the Cabin at mile 15. This is the Finish for 25K runners. The Cabin is Aid Station 2 for 55K runners. After the aid station, 55K runners will run the 20 mile south loop, and return to the Cabins and the finish at mile 34.1. Runners in both races will be on very difficult backcountry trails with some of the steepest climbs in the southeast during this first section, the north loop, of the race. We do not accept drop bags for 25K, however you are welcome to leave a drop bag at the Cabin area. It’s a good idea to have some warm, dry clothes at the finish.

55K Runners May Have Drop Bags

55K runners may have drop bags this year. Many 55K runners will not finish until after dark so be sure to pack a flashlight or headlamp in bag. It is likely that we will not be able to get your bag off the mountain by the time you finish. IF you want your drop bag returned, you may need to drive up to Terrace and Peavine Aid Stations to retrieve them, or come back Sunday morning early.

55K and 25K runners are not allowed to have a pacer. Please do not ask!
