The Bootlegger 100

The Bootlegger 100 is eight laps of a 12.5-mile loop from the group shelter at Indian Springs State Park, near Flovilla in central Georgia. Each lap leaves on half a mile of road, takes the connector trail into Dauset Trails, a trail system built mainly for mountain bikers, and comes home on two miles of gravel and paved road. The race calls the course fast and well suited to a first hundred, because runners pass their own tent and crew every 12.5 miles.

The 100-miler starts at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday and closes at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, 35 hours, and the last lap has to be started by noon. A 50-mile race starts at 7:30 a.m. and has until the 100 closes. The 2027 race on March 20 is the fifth, and a 100-mile finish inside the limit is a Western States 100 qualifier.

A 12.5-mile loop, run eight times for the 100 miles, starting and finishing at the Group Shelter at Indian Springs State Park. The race gives about 1,050 feet of climbing per loop and publishes no total. Each lap starts with about half a mile of road, follows the 3.5-mile connector trail into Dauset Trails, and finishes on two miles of gravel and paved road. There are two aid stations, at mile 6.2 and at the start and finish; crews may set up only at the start and finish. Pacers may join 100-mile runners after 5:00 p.m. at the start and finish, one at a time, and the race is cupless.
