Introduction:
These are single track trails with varied terrain. Lots of hills, rocks, and the occasional mild stream crossing. Every participant receives a Patagonia Runshade T-Shirt.
So who should run these races?
All Runners! This race is meant to be fun and expose those of us who don’t normally run on trails to the beautiful wilderness areas surrounding Chattanooga. Do not feel intimidated if you have never run on dirt trails before. It is not uncommon to walk many sections of a trail run. Remember that trail running is strenuous. Practice before you participate; it makes the race more fun.
