Lady of the Lake

Lady of the Lake is a timed trail event held in Blairsville, Georgia, on November 14, 2026, organized by Revolution Running. You can choose an 8-hour or a 4-hour format; in both cases you run as far as you can before the clock stops and your final distance is your result. Blairsville sits in the mountains of north Georgia, which makes for a scenic mid-November setting.

Timed events are a smart way to enter the ultra world without the stress of a fixed distance. Pick the 4-hour if you want to see how far you can go beyond a half marathon or marathon, and the 8-hour if you are aiming for 50K or more on your own terms. Training should focus on long, easy runs building up to three or four hours, along with practice eating and drinking on the move, since your ability to keep fueling determines how much of the last hours you actually run.
