What is Uforea?
“Uforea”, a play on “Uwharrie Forest” and “euphoria” (runner’s high); is a new type of trail challenge. This event is proudly brought to you by the UwharrieUltras team (the same folks who direct Uwharrie 100 Mile Run, Uwharrie 100K and the Gold Rush 50K). We believe this is a truly unique type of challenge.
UFOREA DAYTIME 50K (8:00AM start)
The UFOREA DAYTIME 50K, will consist of a daytime “clockwise” tour of the Uwharrie and Dutchman’s Creek Trail systems. Each runner will complete a massive 20.5 mile loop, before heading out on a “lower” 11.4 mile loop to finish the 32-ish mile course. The race will start at 8am Saturday and will have an 11 HOUR cutoff. Finishing at 7pm. The race will then “reset” in anticipation of the UFOREA NIGHTTIME 50K…in the opposite direction.
UFOREA NIGHTTIME 50K (8:00PM start)
The UFOREA NIGHTTIME 50K, will consist of a nighttime “counter-clockwise” tour of the Uwharrie and Dutchman’s Creek Trail systems. Each runner will complete a massive 20.5 mile loop, before heading out on the “lower” 11.4 mile loop, to finish the 32-ish mile course. The race will start at 8pm Saturday and will have an 12 HOUR cutoff. Finishing at 8am Sunday.
ULTIMATE UFOREA 100K (Daytime race, then Nighttime race)
Think you can tackle BOTH races for the ultimate runner’s high? Sign up for the ULTIMATE UFOREA 100K to complete “100K in a Day”. Keep in mind, the races START at the stated times above, so a quick finish on the daytime 50K means HOURS waiting for the nighttime event to start. The podium will be decided by the LOWEST combined times between the DAYTIME and NIGHTTIME events. I.e. DAYTIME 50K of 7 hours and NIGHTTIME event of 8 hours = 15 hour TOTAL time.
Ultimate Uforea has a 100 participant limit; DAYTIME ONLY has a 50 participant limit; NIGHTTIME ONLY has a 50 participant limit.
