Black Mountain Marathon
Black Mountain Marathon is a 26.2 mile trail marathon held in Black Mountain, United States, in April.
The race begins in downtown Black Mountain, North Carolina, and ends at Lake Tomahawk. Over the first half, runners climb trails through the Western North Carolina mountains up to the overlook at Black Mountain Gap on the Blue Ridge Parkway, at 5,340 feet. From that point the views reach as far as Mount Mitchell. The route then turns back towards town and the finish.
Total ascent comes to roughly 3,000 feet. The opening 13 miles are shared with entrants in the Challenge event before the two courses part ways.
