About the Event

Conquer the ancient, rolling peaks of the Uwharrie Mountains at the rugged and scenic Naked Mountain Ultra on March 7, 2026. Held within the beautiful Morrow Mountain State Park, this challenging event offers 50-mile, 25-mile, and 10-mile distances that traverse the majority of the park's 32-mile trail network, summiting four distinct mountain peaks. The course is a true test of early-season endurance, featuring relentless climbs and descents over some of the oldest geological formations in the eastern United States, demanding both physical grit and mental fortitude from participants. With a 15-hour cutoff for the 50-miler and a mid-race time gate, the event is designed for determined runners seeking a classic, no-frills Southern ultra experience.

Organized with a focus on the raw trail challenge, the race provides solid support through multiple well-stocked aid stations and partners with Huma Gel to fuel runners' efforts. The atmosphere is one of shared perseverance, where pacers are welcomed for the 50-mile distance and crews can offer encouragement throughout the park's stunning landscape. This is an ideal race for those who love technical, rolling terrain and want to immerse themselves in the quiet, historic beauty of central North Carolina's wilderness. Lace up for a demanding day where the "naked" challenge of the mountains reveals both stunning views and your own deep reserves of strength.
