How to Download a GPX file to your GPS Navigation device
The instruction on this link are for the Blood Rock Course. The procedure is the same for all STR Races. We strongly recommend running all our races with the course GPX file downloaded to the GAIA App on you phone. If you learn how to use the app, you will not get lost.
This is a short video explaining:
1) how to download the GAIA App to your iPhone.
2) How to load the STR Race GPX file to the GAIA App.
3) How to use the GAIA app to stay on course.

WEather and STR RAces
Southeastern Trail Runs has been putting on races for 13 years. In that time, the only race we have ever cancelled was the 2020 Lake Martin 100. The race was scheduled for mid-March and about two weeks before the race, COVID “Exploded!” Russell Lands asked us to cancel the race and of course we did. We did have to move our next two races from April to June, but no other races were cancelled. We will never cancel a race unless we are required to do so by Oak Mountain State Park or a City, State or Federal Government, even if severe weather is predicted. Should there be a severe storm, with lightning, over our race location at the time the race is supposed to start, we may postpone the start until the lightning has moved away. Once the race has started there is just no way to stop it. Should a lightning storm move into the race area during the race, we ask all runners to move off ridges immediately, (If applicable) until the storm passes. Most of our races do not have cutoffs so runners will have plenty of time to finish.
Here are a few photos from the 2017 Blood Rock 100. THe white stuff is snow!
The Lake Martin 100, 2023
Saturday Morning the race stared in a narrow gap between thunderstorms. The temperatures Saturday afternoon went up to almost 90 degrees. The heat took out almost half the 100 field. Saturday night we were hit by, not one, but two hail storms. The second was BAD! It damaged every car near the start. (When I swept the course Monday morning, the south end of the course looked like someone had laid green carpet over the entire section.) As if that was not enough, before daylight Sunday morning, the rain storms hit. Between 8 and 12 inches of rain fell in about 3 hours. The small creeks that runners could step over Saturday were raging class 4 and class 5 rapids. Yet several runners finished after the storms.
6:30 AM Start - Between Thunderstorms.
After all that, we still had finishers. We Re-Defined “Tough Mudders!”
This was either the 1:30 AM Hailstorm or the 3:00 AM Hailstorm.
The serious rain started before daylight Sunday morning, and continued for about 3 hours. Between 8 & 12 inches of rain fell.
2024 Southeastern Trail Runs Sponsor
ALTRA SHOES
We are thrilled to welcome ALTRA back in 2024 as a Southeastern Trail Runs sponsor for all this years races. Hopefully for many years to come. I have a personal interest here because Altra shoes are the only trail shoe I have worn for the past 7 years and love them. We will be giving away two pair of ALTRA shoes at every race this year. We will have a drawing just before the race or during awards at after the race.
