It's time for some good old-fashioned Southeastern trail fun...
A note from RD Ash Walsh
Remember when running a race was just that? Racing? No year-ahead commitment, no politically correct entry process, and no $300 fee to get in? Somewhere along the way, ultra and trail racing took a corporate-looking side trail and kinda stayed on it. It's not all bad—this path is fun, exciting, and opens doors for many. But for some, it’s not quite the path they were looking for.
​
For many, myself included, MUT running has always been an escape from the road crowds and societal stress, a chance to compete with fellow trail lovers in a low-key way. I remember paying $50 bucks for my first 100 miler! But the days of cheap ultras with day-of sign-ups are long gone, making it tough for newcomers or road runners looking to try out racing on the trails. The commitment pressure can take the fun out of it. That's why we’re bringing you the Flatrock 50K & Half. We’re cutting out the frills and hype, offering good old-fashioned trail racing that’s fun, competitive, and down-to-earth. Our events will be beginner-friendly, wallet-friendly, and commitment-friendly, with low prices and flexible race options. So, bring your shoes, your crew, and some good vibes, and let’s hit the trails at Flatrock. See y’all soon! - Ash
