Looking Glass 100K

The course has a bit of everything, from smooth singletrack, technical singletrack, grassy double track, gravel, and a short bit of pavement. The course starts and ends at the field across from Davidson River Campground off FS 5069 near the Pisgah Ranger Station. The course passes through multiple ecosystems along its journey, from acid and rich cove hardwood forest, to thick boreal balsam woods found in more northern climates, to high-elevation mountain balds with incredible long-range views. The course also passes by multiple waterfalls and moss-covered streams, some of which will require crossing.  An absolutely stunning course and unrivaled anywhere else on the east coast, from it’s beauty to its heights, with multiple summits over 6,000 ft.

Each course will have a combo of full and fluid-only aid stations located approximately every 4.5-9 miles along the course. Aid stations will have at a minimum: Water and Skratch Labs electrolyte drink. Minimum foods include: bananas, orange slices, potato chips, pretzels, PB&J, pickles, Snickers, & M&Ms. Many aid stations will have a variety of other hot and cold solid foods that will vary by aid station.
