About the Southern Tour Ultra

Founded in 2013 by Tom Clifford, owner and founder of Without Limits, in partnership with the Wilmington Health Foundation, the Southern Tour Ultra was created as a running festival for the regional running community. Our mission is to foster a competitive environment for teams and individuals while offering a fun, family-friendly atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.

Events at the Southern Tour Ultra

The Southern Tour Ultra offers a variety of events to suit all types of runners:

  • 50-Mile Individual Open Event
  • 50K Individual Open Event
  • 50-Mile Age-Graded Team Relay
  • Last Man Standing Event

Whether you're a seasoned ultramarathoner or someone who simply loves the energy of a great running event, there's something for you here.

What to Expect

The Southern Tour Ultra is more than just a race—it’s an experience. Here’s what awaits:

  • Trail running through scenic, natural terrain.
  • Classic rock and banjo string music to keep the vibe alive.
  • Campfires, beer (and more beer!), and live music.
  • Camaraderie and great times with friends, family, and teammates.
  • Camping under the stars.
  • Delicious BBQ to fuel the fun.

Our goal is to create a Woodstock-like atmosphere where you can let loose, run hard, and enjoy 48 hours of unforgettable fun, friendship, and running. Join us at the Southern Tour Ultra—you won’t regret it!
