Course line from the race's own GPX. Source file. Year of this file not known.

Lollipop on the Sylaward Trails: out from Lake Howard to Bill's Creek Loop, around the loop, and back on the same trails to the finish at Lake Howard. Two aid stops, the same station both times through.

The race

What this one is

Point-to-point trail race on the Pinhoti Trail in Alabama, from Porters Gap on Highway 77 across Horn Mountain and Rebecca Mountain to Lake Howard in Sylacauga. 50 mile and 50K start at Porters Gap; the 25K runs the Sylaward Trails at Lake Howard. Aid Station 13 of the Pinhoti 100 sits at the start, so the first miles preview that course in daylight.

The 2026 running was the 10th annual 50 Miler, the 2nd annual 50K and the 1st annual 25K. Part of the Pinhoti Trail Races series, which also runs the Pinhoti 100, Mt Cheaha 50K, Oak Mountain and Rockin Choccolocco.
