1200 Paint Rock Road, Kingston TN

Saturday, March 8th, 2025

📅 Date, Time, & Place

Road Course: USATF Road Certified TN16002MS. A lovely, rolling, scenic and rural course that runs through the countryside. Downhill start means uphill finish! This is a rural route and runners should be aware that there are some unleashed dogs along the course. This is NOT a walker-friendly course. The course time limit for the road race is 4.5 hours and will be strictly enforced. NO EXCEPTIONS. The road course is open to traffic. There will be 4 aid stations that runners will pass 7 times in total, each will have water, Gatorade, and Gu.
Trail Course: The trail course is almost all off-road, with just a few brief touches on asphalt. It will be a three-loop course (or only one if you're doing the 10k) with plenty of ascending and descending, a few blown down trees to negotiate, and a gorgeous view of the Whitestone Inn and the lake from the high point of the course. It will be approximately 30k in total length with around 1000' of elevation gain per loop (so 3000' feet if you're doing the whole 30k). The course time limit for the trail race is 5¼ hours.
