About This Race
Le Grand Du Nord presents itself as a challenging trail running event in Alabama, though significant data inconsistencies raise questions about its current status. Listed as inactive with coordinates pointing to Minnesota rather than the stated Alabama location, this race appears to have operational uncertainties that prospective runners should investigate thoroughly before committing. The available course description mentions gravel cycling rather than trail running, suggesting either data confusion or a multi-sport format. What is clear is that the event was designed around a 100-mile distance on the Pinhoti Trail system, one of Alabama's premier long-distance trails that traverses diverse terrain from Georgia through Alabama. Given the inactive status and conflicting location data, runners interested in this event should contact organizers directly to verify current operations, actual location, and race format before making travel arrangements.
