Embark on a classic point-to-point and out-and-back journey along one of North Carolina's most iconic trails at the challenging MST 100 Endurance Races on March 7, 2026. This event, set on the beautiful Falls Lake section of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, offers a 100-mile, 50-mile, 50K, and 10-mile adventure through serene woodlands with constant, picturesque views of the lake. The course is 90% rolling single-track, totaling a significant 8,000 feet of elevation gain for the hundred-miler, providing a deceptively tough test on runnable but relentless terrain. Starting at the Rolling View Recreation Area, runners will cross numerous bridges and trace the lake's shoreline, experiencing the peaceful, immersive beauty of this treasured corridor just north of Raleigh.
The event is designed for both seasoned ultrarunners seeking a demanding early-season hundred and those looking to tackle a supported 50K or 50-mile distance on a well-marked, iconic trail. The shared starting lines and overlapping courses foster a strong sense of community among participants of all distances, all united by the storied MST. This is more than a race; it's a celebration of North Carolina's trail running heritage, offering a pure, connection-focused experience on a beloved path. Lace up for a memorable day where every mile brings you deeper into the heart of the state's natural beauty and endurance running spirit.

Of the three cities that make up North Carolina's Research Triangle, Durham has traditionally been the grittier, more working-class one.
