About the Southeastern Trail Series
In an effort to promote trail running and introduce new runners to the trails, Southeastern Trail Runs has created a series of seven races beginning in April of 2013. We will start with runs as short as 3 and 6 miles and slowly build distance through the spring, summer and fall, culminating in an Ultra distance race in November. Runners that follow the series and build up training distance will be ready for the 50K in November. Those that wish to go further, can continue to build distance over the winter. By the end of March of 2014, they will be ready for the Lake Martin 50 or even the Lake Martin 100.
The series will consist of 7 races. Each race will offer opportunities to run further than the previous race and offer more difficult terrain and more elevation gain. We will help runners design a training schedule that will make it easier to reach their goals, whether it is to go out and enjoy an occasional 50K or run the Leadville 100. Or maybe even Hardrock. The series will build to the final event of the series, the Ultra in November. Participants will earn points for each event completed based on how they finished in each event. Points leaders at the end of the series will receive special awards as Southeastern Trail Challenge Points Champion. Runners entering all events will also receive special awards. All races will take place in the Birmingham area.
