Lula Lake Trail Blazer

Lula Lake Trail Blazer takes place in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, on November 14, 2026, on the trails of the Lula Lake area. The event offers three trail distances: a 50K (31 miles), a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 10K, so you can pick the format that fits your fall season.

Lookout Mountain trails combine rolling ridge sections with steep, rocky pitches, so hill strength is your best investment whatever distance you choose. The 10K works well as a first trail race, the half marathon is a good goal for road runners looking to go off-road, and the 50K is a legitimate first ultra for anyone who has already finished a trail marathon. Aim for 12 weeks of preparation for the shorter formats and 16 for the 50K, and practice running downhill on tired legs, since descending well is what saves your quads for the finish.
