LAKE MARTIN 50/50
COURSE INFORMATION
Basic Course Overview
Lake Martin 50 was designed from the ground up to be the perfect step-up from a 25K or 50K to a 50 mile or from a short trail race to a 50K trial race. Our goal is your success. We promise to do everything in our power to help you accomplish your goal, whether that goal is to run your first ultra or to break 8 hours in the 50 mile. We also pledge to make your race experience FUN! The race will be hard. All those beautiful hills become steeper and longer with each mile. Those gentle carriage paths become very long about mile 40. But if you have put in enough training miles, you can do it. We will encourage you, push you, help you, and even yell at you if necessary, to get you to the end. We might even let you rest occasionally. If you are ready, you can do it.
