Tsali Ultra to host NC USATF Championships
The Tsali Ultra Trail Race, in its 15th year of operation, will host the NC USATF 50-Kilometer Trail Championships on Jan. 18, 2025, in Almond.
The event will feature a total of three races — an 8-kilometer, 30-kilometer and the premiere Tsali Ultra 50-Kilometer Race — all held entirely on National Forest Trails.
The NC USATF 50-Kilometer Open and Masters Championships have total prize purse of nearly $2,000. The top three finishers in the Open Men, Open Women, Masters Men and Masters Women divisions will receive championship medals and prize money in the amount of $200, $150 and $100 for first through third places. The Masters divisions will be age graded in order to foster a fair and even playing field. Championship prize funds are made possible through a grant from NC USATF.
Anyone regardless of residency or USATF membership status is eligible to participate and compete for awards in all three races. However, only USATF members who are residents of North Carolina are eligible for NC USATF 50 km Trail Championship status and NC USATF awards. It is the goal of USATF to increase both individual and club membership in the organization. For USATF membership information please visit usatf.org/membership.
