What Is Spike Camp?
Spike Camp is a Free Event for everyone with a smile! You do not need to be in recovery or even a runner to attend. You dont even need to show up at 5am, but we will be a base camp for 12 Hours of Mount Pisgah!
We will be there to support you from 5am to 5pm to help keep you out there for as long as possible. Maybe you are new to the sport and will have questions about your shoes, or nutrition. We will be there to help the community become stronger and embrace the beauty of this amazing trail. The main trail is roughly 3 miles round trip with 1,000 feet of elevation gain. After each loop we will have coffee, heat, snacks, stories, and smiles.
There is no time or distance requirement!
This is a free event (with the exception of the fee to park).
This event would not be possible without the continued support of many.
Please check these guys out and help us show them some love.

FAQ
And will number of miles be recorded at the end for ranking purposes or will there be no ranking?
YES: You will receive a bib when you check in. We will be recording summits using a state of the art, high tech recording system where each participant will retrieve a little rubber duckie at the summit to bring back to Base Camp at the end of each loop to record progress :)
Do I have to complete the entire 12 hours?
NO: We will begin recording summits at 5am and stop at 5pm. If you arrive after 5am that is fine! Just check in whenever you get there to receive your bib and let us know when you are heading home. You are welcome to start and end at whatever time works for you. Some will do one summit. Some will do 10. Some may not do any and just come for the experience.
