Amtrack Train Ticket Information
Celebrate your Adventure
After you cross the finish line in Thurmond, West Virginia, you’ve got the chance to celebrate your race with a ride on an Amtrack train back to Montgomery, where the 50 Milers started their day! Before you board, we’ll raise a champagne toast to your accomplishment and the wild adventure you just conquered.
Seats are limited and first come, first served through registration, so be sure to grab your ticket early. The train departs at 6:59 PM sharp, with the last call whistle at 6:45 PM—giving you 14 hours to race the trails, beat the train, and celebrate at the station. (Miss the train? No stress—we’ll still get you to your car!)
We do not control the trains. This is a reliable schedule and is rarely late. But if Amtrak is delayed, athletes' departure will be delayed as well.
Train tickets are available as an add-on when you register or as an add-on in your RunSignup account after you register. Instructions to add them in your account can be found here.
Shuttle information for 50K runners so you can ride the train can be found here.
Race day is Sunday, May 17—let’s ride!
