COURSE
In 2022, the course had to be redesigned, re-measured, and re-certified due to construction on Tennessee Waltz Parkway east of Riverbluff Park. The 2024 course is identical to the one used the last two years – beautiful, flat, and very fast (see links below). The course’s USATF certification number is TN22002MS. This course is eligible for Tennessee single-age state records.

Note: the course is only open for 3 hours. Please do not register for the race unless you are confident that you can comfortably cover the course in 3:00:00 (13:44/mile) or faster.
AID STATIONS / FLUIDS
We will have crewed aid stations – offering both Water and Gatorade – at the following points on the course: 3.3 miles, 4.4 miles, 7.3 miles, and 9.3 miles, and 11.5 miles. We will NOT be handing out gels, so if you plan to use gels, please bring your own.
In the unlikely occurrence of a medical emergency during the event, each aid station will have a direct line to EMS. We will also have a “trail vehicle” (Gator cart) on course to transport anyone in need of medical assistance.
