About
The Mountains-to-Sea Trail 12M & 50K Challenge in Raleigh is a spring trail race on the Mountains-to-Sea Trail around Falls Lake, with a 50K (31 miles) starting at 7 a.m. and a 12-mile (19.3 km) race at 8:30 a.m. on April 11, 2027. It is organized by Bull City Running Co.
Aid stations are set roughly every 5 km (about 3 miles), stocked with water and electrolyte drink. To reduce waste, the event is cupless, so runners need to carry their own bottle. Finishers receive a custom T-shirt, a medal and post-race refreshments, and awards go to the top overall and masters runners.
