Eagle Ridge 50k, Half Marathon, and 5k is a newer trail racing event, with its inaugural year being 2018, just six (6) short years ago. The good news is that it’s very spectator-friendly unlike most trail events, so invite friends and family out for all to enjoy. Challenging with drastic elevation changes. This race has a total of about 2000-feet of elevation, classified as a hard course. This race takes place in the emphatic and awe-inspiring 6000-acre park of Guntersville. Lake Guntersville State Park where the race resides is often deemed the most beautiful place in Alabama, the “Crown Jewel” if you will, and for good reason. While the race takes place in February, as challenging a month as any to perform at your peak, the natural landscapes of North Alabama, particularly Lake Guntersville State Park, remain a scenic and picturesque event destination where seeing wildlife like eagles is a common occurrence.
