Where: Redbud Pavilion, Oak Mountain State Park
When: Saturday, March 7th — 8:00 AM Start

Why Tranquility Lake?
Beginner-Friendly: Just 450 feet of elevation gain per lap — gentle by Oak Mountain standards.
Scenic & Challenging: Cruise around Tranquility Road before winding along shaded single-track, cross through Maggie’s Glen, and climb the ridge above Tranquility Lake, before descending back to the finish.
Choose Your Distance: Test the waters with a single 3-mile lap, or double up for 6 miles and a bigger challenge.
Whether you’re a first-time trail runner or a seasoned road racer looking for something new, this race will get you hooked on the trails. And it’s the perfect first step toward bigger goals in the Southeastern Trail Series — building up to the legendary Blood Rock Ultra in December.

Trail shoes recommended for comfort and traction.
$5 cash-only entry fee at Oak Mountain State Park.
Aid station at the pavilion (3 mile mark) for 6-mile runners.
