🩸 STONE MOUNTAIN MASSACRE 🩸
A Trial of Blood, Stone, and Shadow
Roaring Gap, North Carolina | Presented by Dirty Wolf Racing
The Call of the Mountain
In the ancient lands of Stone Mountain, where wind howls like lost spirits and the trails bleed ice and fire, a sacred ritual awakens. This is no ordinary race. This is a quest — a trial etched in sweat and stone, where only the worthy may survive.
- 8 Miler – The First Test
- 25K – The Blood Path
- 50K – The Full Rite of Passage
But only those who attempt the 50K shall walk the full circle of power — and face the Six Stones.
🪨 The Quest of the Six Stones (50K Only)
The journey begins with the gift of a Protection Stone, carried with you through every step. Scattered across the mountain trails lie Six Sacred Stones, one at each Aid Station — two guarded only by silence, the rest by watchers of the ancient ways. You must claim them all. No stones. No Blood Book. No glory.
🔮 The Sacred Stones
- Onyx – Shadow’s Shield: Strength, Balance
- Emerald – The Eternal Test: Immortality, Trial
- Ruby – Flame Within: Passion, Fortune
- Sapphire – Sky’s Light: Truth, Healing
- Diamond – Unbreakable Will: Purity, Power
📕 The Blood Book (If you buy it)
Survivors of the full quest shall be gifted the Blood Book — a handcrafted relic to house the Six Stones and a finisher’s medal, formed in fire by BlueGill Pottery. No two are the same. Complete your Blood Book, and you complete the legend.
🗺️ The Path of Trials
The journey begins near the Visitor Center. Follow the Bypass Trail into the Stone Mountain Loop, descend to Wolf Creek, and merge with the Mountain-to-Sea Trail. Ascend the 300 Stairs of Judgment, then return to the Aid Station — completing a brutal loop of rock, roots, and ruin.
