Course

Runners complete one lap of the park loop, return to the start for refueling, then head out for a second lap with an added out and back. The course follows blazed trail on the Upper Loop, and three aid stations sit on each loop.

Race-day weather

Late March on the Cumberland Plateau is often cool in the morning, with shade on much of the course. Spring rain and fallen trees have forced course adjustments in past years.
