DESCRIPTION:Join us for Hickory’s inaugural HKY 100\, a 100-mile ultra trail race designed for solo runners and teams of 2 to 10.

The terrain includes short\, steep climbs and two longer ascents of about 0.65 miles each. The course will be well-marked with cones\, arrow signs\, and reflective tape for night running. Be prepared for true trail conditions—hills\, descents\, tight turns\, roots\, rocks\, and other natural features. \nRegistration required: https://www.hickorync.gov/hky-100
