Long Hunter Trail Runs

Saturday, Oct 10, 2026

Location: 2910 Hobson Pike, Hermitage, TN

This race series is all within Long Hunter State Park, a few miles outside the Nashville city limits. All race distances circumnavigate Couchville Lake, go out and back on the Bryant Grove trail and do the cliff trail loop. The half marathon also does the Inland Trail while the Marathon and 50k courses go out to do different lengths of the Jones Mill trail. We start and finish in a beautiful, wide-open field that often has deer and turkeys strolling through.

The course is a mix of trail and paved trail/asphalt. The 2-mile trail that goes around Couchville Lake is a paved, greenway type trail. The only other non-dirt areas are the roads connecting the other trails together. You could be fine with road shoes if it doesn’t rain right before the race.
