Trail running the Art Loeb is better with a personalized support crew. This challenging 50k in the heart of Pisgah National Forest dashes through tree tracts and across peaks on its way to 8,000 feet of elevation gain in one big day! Lucky for you, aid stations are set up near miles 13 and 19 customized with food and drink of your choosing. Along the way, you’ll enjoy scenic Appalachian wilderness, Shining Rock and top out several prominent mountains including Black Balsam Knob (6,214 ft) and Pilot (5,095 ft). Your Art Loeb Trail endpoint is the front door of Ecusta Brewing for a refreshing reward of a run well done.
