Packet Pickup • Bib numbers and shirts can be picked up at the pre-race dinner on Friday or on race morning, starting 90 minutes prior to your race. You must be present IN PERSON to receive your bib number. Runners who pick up bib numbers on Friday night MUST check in Saturday morning prior to their race.
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. Last year we introduced a plan to make the Uwharrie Mountain Run a climate-neutral event (see CO2 Neutral page for details.) You can participate by making an optional $3 donation to help offset your individual carbon footprint and by carpooling to the race.
Pre-Race Dinner • A pre-race Pasta & Protein party is held on Friday from 6:00 - 8:00 pm 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 and incredible homemade desserts!
Awards • Awards are a special tradition at Uwharrie, a region known for its beautiful pottery. All finishers receive pottery awards crafted by a local Seagrove potter. The top 3 male and female winners in each race receive handmade commemorative pottery. Awards are presented as runners finish.
