Welcome to Palmetto Ultras!  In 2023 we learned that the race director of Eagle Endurance, Chad Haffa, would be stepping back at the end of the year. This would ultimately mean the end of trail races in the Charleston area. As a runner myself, I couldn't imagine that happening. So, I stepped in, rebranded to Palmetto Ultras and will be taking over some of Eagle Endurance’s most iconic races starting in January 2024

When you run a Palmetto Ultras event I hope that you end up loving the woods as much as I do. Our trails here in the Lowcountry are beautiful. You're not going to find any mountains or waterfalls here but there is something peaceful about being in these woods. Something that makes it feel like you're a kid just playing around.

Don't let our name fool you–we're more than just ultras. I want trail running to be more accessible to more people. You're always going to see crazy long distances at our races but we're also incorporating shorter distances like 5 & 10k's so that you can get your friends to come out, get hooked, and then talk them into running those crazy long distances with you. Whether it's your first time on the trails or if you've been at it for awhile–we have something for everyone. 

Our mission is to inspire everyone to embrace the trails, push seasoned runners to new heights, and cultivate lasting bonds in our community
