Norris Ultra Dam Hard Trail Race
This event offers two trail race options held at Norris Dam State Park and the Norris Municipal Watershed near Rocky Top, Tennessee. The courses use single track trails and jeep roads, with the 25K course completed as one loop and the 50K as two loops.
- 25K
- 50K
Aid stations and water are provided at multiple locations and are road-accessible for spectators and crew. Runners are encouraged to carry personal water because only very small cups will be available at aid stations. A 4 hour 40 minute time limit applies to the 25K and a 9 hour time limit applies to the 50K; 50K runners must reach the halfway aid station and depart it within 4 hours to continue.
Safety and course rules restrict headsets, earphones, bicycles, baby strollers, roller blades and pets on course. Participants will be subject to a minimum pace enforcement of 18:00 per mile and a sweeper will be used; runners under 12 must be accompanied by an adult to enter an adult race. Bibs must remain accounted for and runners who drop out should notify race officials.
Event amenities include campground sites, rustic and deluxe cabins near the park, limited edition series T shirts at one per runner per season, and a deluxe finisher medal for both distances. Series awards require club membership and volunteer service as specified by the series rules. Race personnel may modify or cancel the event for inclement weather and there are no refunds or transfers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
