Sandhills Trail & Ultra Festival 50 km Run
Calculated from 50 km alone — the organiser has not published an elevation profile. Read 2.5 as a floor, not a verdict.
What the course asks
DUV results for the 2026 edition (50km) — finishers only. Starters are not published, so the field was at least this big and no finish rate can be given.
Typical conditions, February
Regional 2001-2020 average for February — NASA POWER, grid elevation 112 m. Not a forecast.

Course Notes
The course is a 7.5 mile loop that rolls through some sandy sections north of the main trail but comes back to some beautiful and fast single track trails around the lake, hiking trails, and campground.
