FATS 50K, Half Marathon & 10K – 2026 Event
No Crab. No Deep Step. ALL Grit.

Dear FATS runners,

We’re excited to announce that the FATS 50K, Half Marathon, and 10K will return on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

This year’s course has been thoughtfully designed to showcase some of the best trails FATS has to offer while providing a fun, challenging, and memorable race experience. Expect rolling singletrack, roots, rocks, fast sections, and plenty of the signature terrain that has made FATS a favorite destination for trail runners across the Southeast.
