Overview
The Fort Yargo 50km Ultramarathon is a trail race scheduled for April 2027 in Winder, GA, featuring a field bigger than 72% of 50k events. Held across 7 prior editions since 2020, the latest running saw 78 runners cross the line.
Runners tackle 2 loops of a 15.6-mile trail circuit entirely on park singletrack. With a 10-hour time limit, the cut-off is more generous than 54% of peer 50k events and tighter than 46%. That translates to a required pace of 12 minutes per kilometer, offering steady pacing breathing room without the extreme pressures found in half of comparable ultramarathons.
