Pine Mountain Trail Run

Pine Mountain Trail Run is run in Pine Mountain, Georgia, on December 6, 2026. Two trail distances are on the program: a 40-mile and a 19-mile, both on the Pine Mountain trails in west Georgia. With no short option, the day is aimed squarely at runners already comfortable spending several hours on their feet on rolling, wooded terrain.

The 19-mile is the more interesting choice than its odd number suggests: it sits right between a half marathon and a 50K, which makes it a useful stepping stone if you are building toward ultra distance in the spring. The 40-mile is a long December day and asks for a plan you have already tested — what you will eat each hour, when you will add a layer, and how you will keep moving when the temperature drops in the late afternoon.
