Event Description

Fire Break Ultra & FKT Challenge

Harbison State Forest - Columbia SC

May 16th 2020

Registration Opens Jan 24th

 

Harbison State Forest is a unique location in Columbia, South Carolina. Over 2100 acres and more than 20 miles of trails make Harbison State Forest a great place to be in nature in an urban environment. Most of the trails are connected to the 4.4 mile Firebreak Trail. B/c of it's placement in the forest, Firebreak is the most popular trail. It starts and ends in the same location allowing runners, hikers, and mountain bikers to experience all they would expect of being outdoors. Steep climbs, declines, a creek crossing are just some of the features this trail offers.

 

Firebreak Ultra will be a 10 lap race around the Firebreak trail making it a 44 mile event.

Firebreak FKT Challenge will be a test of speed to see who can complete the loop in the shortest amount of time.
