This weekend, Saturday February 27th, the Montrail Ultra Cup series will travel to Alabama for race #6, the Mt. Cheaha 50k. This is an exceptional course on mostly single track trails in Talladega National Forest. The point-to-point run ends in Cheaha State Park at the summit of Cheaha Mountain, the highpoint of Alabama (2,407 ft).
While no Western States spots are on the line this weekend, runners will have the chance to earn precious Ultra Cup points with their finish. Female Ultra Cup points leader Annette Bednosky will be racing, and her Montrail teammate and challenger in the standings, Jill Perry, will also be in attendance.
So far, 165 runners have registered and 17 different states are represented. The weather forecast looks promising and we’re looking forward to a great event. See you in Alabama.

Mt Cheaha 50k…give it a full 10. Tough and challenging…but worth every minutes. Awesome beauty and awesome support. Thanks again Montrail, you choose your races wisely!
