This is not your typical half marathon—it’s a gritty, wild, and rewarding test of endurance for trail runners who thrive on technical terrain and real mountain grit.
Distance: 13.1 miles
Elevation Gain: Over 2,000 feet
Terrain: Technical single track with roots, rocks, steep climbs, creek crossings, and fast descents
Location: Steele Creek Park – Bristol, TN
This course is designed for trail runners who live for the challenge. Expect to tackle steep ridge lines, narrow switchbacks, creek crossings, and rocky forest paths that wind through thick Appalachian woodlands. Every mile delivers a new test—and a new reason to love trail running.
Keep your eyes open—you might catch a glimpse of white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and other wildlife along the course. Maybe even a bear. (Don’t worry—they’re not racing.)
This is not a beginner-friendly race. It’s raw. It’s technical. It’s unpredictable. And it’s unforgettable. Perfect for runners looking to push their limits and earn serious trail cred.
Ready to Run Wild? If you’re up for the challenge, sign up and get ready to experience trail racing the way it was meant to be—muddy, steep, and gloriously tough.
