Cheif Ladiga
Apr 10, 2027
Founded in 2022, Chief Ladiga 100 runs 50 miles out and 50 miles back on the Chief Ladiga Trail and Georgia's Silver Comet Trail — together one of the longest paved pathways in the United States — from the Jacksonville Community Center to Nathan Dean Park in Rockmart, GA. Smooth asphalt throughout, winding past wetlands, forests, farmland, and Appalachian foothills. Total elevation change is around 3,500 feet; the 32-hour cutoff and crew access at 12 of 14 aid stations make it a common entry point for first-time 100-milers.
