Pumpkin Butt 50K - GA

Pumpkin Butt 50K - GA is a trail ultramarathon in Kennesaw, Georgia, held on October 31, 2026, with the 50K starting at 8 a.m. The distance works out to roughly 31 miles on trail, and the race is put on by GUTS, the Georgia Ultrarunning and Trailrunning Society.

A 50K is the usual first step past the marathon, and it is more forgiving than the mileage suggests: the pace is slower, walking the climbs is normal, and aid stations become part of the plan rather than an afterthought. Build toward it with sixteen weeks of steady mileage, a weekly long run on trail rather than road, and back-to-back long days in the heaviest weeks. Practice your race-day food during those runs, because 31 miles is long enough that fueling decides the last hour.
