The Yeti Spirit: Each race is crafted by born and raised Appalachians who've spent lifetimes exploring these trails. We host these events to share our home mountains with runners from all walks of life – whether you're chasing your first ultra finish or adding to your collection of belt buckles. Our races aren't just events; they're gatherings where stories are shared, friendships are forged, communities come together, and trail magic happens.

By focusing on building strong relationships with our community parks and forests, we're keeping these trails wild and accessible for generations of future Yetis.

Three races. Three seasons. One unforgettable Appalachian adventure. Come run wild with us. These mountains are calling.
