The Enoree 100

The Enoree 100 returns to Newberry, South Carolina on February 20th, offering runners a unique challenge through the heart of the Palmetto Trail's Enoree Passage in Sumter National Forest.
Runners will launch from near Newberry High School and follow quiet country roads before entering the forest along Forest Service Road 379. The terrain transitions rapidly to singletrack trails winding through pine ridges, hardwood bottomlands, beaver ponds, and lush wetland areas. Aid stations are placed roughly every six to eight miles, ensuring runners have access to necessary supplies throughout their journey.
This is the third year of The Enoree 100, a race that has quickly become an essential part of the ultra-running community in South Carolina's upstate region. Participants gather from across the state and beyond for this grueling yet rewarding challenge, raising funds for local conservation efforts and trail maintenance projects within Sumter National Forest.
The course follows established trails throughout Newberry County and into Union County, featuring a mix of singletrack paths and forest roads that wind through scenic lakeside areas and historic landmarks like Cross Keys House. The route is challenging but runnable, with the only real obstacle being the relentless distance over 32 hours.
Temperatures in early February are typically mild during morning start times but can drop significantly by late evening as runners approach their cutoff windows. Trail conditions tend to be firm yet slightly soft underfoot due to recent dry spells, making for steady traction without excessive fatigue on longer distances.
The Enoree 100 features a single distance of 160.9 kilometers (100 miles) and requires an entry fee of $280.00 per runner.
