Entry Rules/Disqualification
Unregistered runners (pacers, companion runners, bandits) are NOT ALLOWED. Replacement runners or transfers are NOT ALLOWED. Breaking these rules is selfish. You are compromising not only your safety but also the safety, enjoyment and future of the entire event. Anyone breaking these rules will be disqualified from this and future races.
Team Competition
Top 5 runners per team scored. Winning team has lowest combined finishing place total across all 6 race categories (40m, 20m, 8m: men + women). No team registration on race weekend!
Voluntary Carbon Offset Contribution
As trail runners, we have a special obligation to protect and preserve the natural resources that we enjoy. We introduced a plan to make the Uwharrie Mountain Run a climate-neutral event. You can participate by making an optional $3 donation that we forward to NC Greenpower help offset your individual carbon footprint and by carpooling to the race.
Pre-Race Dinner: Registration is open!
A pre-race pasta party is held on Friday from 6:00 – 8:00 pm at The Exchange in downtown Asheboro, just 5 minutes from the race hotel and 35 minutes from camp. Tickets are $15 per person and must be purchased in advance. Lots of door prizes, beer/wine, and yummy deserts!
Awards
Awards are a special tradition at Uwharrie, a region known for its beautiful pottery. All finishers receive pottery awards crafted by Michael Mahan, a local Seagrove potter. The top 3 male and female winners in each race receive handmade commemorative pottery. Awards are presented as runners finish.
