Pinhoti 100

Pinhoti 100 is a 100-mile trail run in Sylacauga, Alabama, on November 7, 2026, with a 6:00 AM start. It is the marquee event of the Pinhoti Trail Series and follows the Pinhoti Trail through the mountains of eastern Alabama. There is a single format, which keeps the entire field focused on the same goal: finishing 100 miles.

A November 100-mile in the Southeast typically gives you cool temperatures but long nights, so headlamp running and managing sleep deprivation are as important as leg strength. Save this race for after your first 50-mile or 100K finish. In training, a 20-week block with back-to-back long runs, weekly hill work and at least one overnight session will set you up well. Work out your crew and pacer plan early, and practice the foods you intend to eat, because 24 hours or more on trail is mostly a fueling problem.
