The Southern Massanutten Ultra Trail (SMUT) Run is a low-key, difficult 100 km fatass race, with a 50 km option.  Entry opens on September 15.  Note not only new distances this year, but new starting location.

This event has concurrent 50K, 100K and 100 mile solo races, registration for these races opens around mid-March.

Race put on by Annette Bednosky on flat and beautiful rails-to-trails course in southwest Virginia.

A challenging 100 miler that is held in the same general location as TWOT. Part of the Beast Series. Note 6 p.m. Friday starting time.

Race management says of the run: "This Ultra was created to give newcomers to the world of ultra running a relatively easy race to get started."  New course in 2011.

This run bills itself as a challenging 25 mile endurance hike/trail run in central Pennsylvania. The course will take the entrants up and over Bald Eagle Mountain a number of times for a total elevation gain of 5000 feet.  Registration opens on Jan 1, and historically this race has filled quickly.

The former Iroquois Trail 100 miler is now the Virgil Crest Ultras, with a 50 miler and 100 mile relay option in addition to the 100 mile race.
