Find your rhythm and test your endurance on the classic, runnable trails of the Camp Croft Ultras on Saturday, March 21, 2026. This welcoming yet challenging Mountaineer Rumble event, set in the beautiful and historic Croft State Park near Spartanburg, South Carolina, offers four distances to suit every ambition, from a fast 10-mile introduction to the ultimate 100-mile overnight quest. Each 10.05-mile loop showcases a perfect blend of smooth single-track, rolling hills, and flat sections along the Fainforest Creek Connector and Southside Trail Loop, creating a deceivingly fast course with approximately 700 feet of gain per circuit. The looped format provides a mentally manageable and logistically simple adventure, perfect for first-time ultrarunners and seasoned veterans aiming for a personal best.
More than just a race, it's a full weekend immersion into the trail running community, complete with included campsites, a pre-race pizza gathering, and the camaraderie of shared suffering and triumph. Fully stocked aid stations at the start/finish and a strategic fluid station at mile 4.25 ensure runners are well-supported as they chase their 50K, 50-mile, or coveted 100-mile buckle. The generous time limits—up to 32 hours for the 100-miler—encourage a focus on perseverance over pure speed, allowing participants to run their own race. It's an event designed to build confidence, forge lasting memories, and celebrate every finish line crossing with equal enthusiasm.
From the morning start under the Carolina pines to the potential overnight journey under the stars, the Camp Croft Ultras foster an atmosphere of supportive challenge and accessible adventure. The park's rich history and serene landscapes provide a captivating backdrop for a personal journey that is as much about inner discovery as it is about outer achievement. Whether you're seeking a manageable ultra debut, a solid training effort, or the prestigious accomplishment of a hundred miles, this race delivers a professionally organized, community-focused experience. Join fellow runners for a weekend where the trails are inviting, the campfires are warm, and the sense of accomplishment is profound.
