Rim Runner Trail Races
Rim Runner Trail Races takes place on April 10, 2027 in Sewanee, Tennessee. The event is organized by Green Tunnel Events and is based near 7833 Jumpoff Rd. Distances offered include:
- 50 Miler
- 50K
- Half Marathon
The course uses Franklin State Forest's West Rim and West Side trails. The route is a large loop that runs along the rim and overlooks coves on either side. The event name refers both to running along the rim of a cove and to Tennessee's history of rum running during prohibition.
Elevation gain for each distance is listed as: Half Marathon 1,600 ft, 50K 3,200 ft, and 50 Miler 5,700 ft.
Awards include a three layer welded steel buckle, sawed hand‑branded whiskey barrel staves for the Half Marathon, 50K and 50 Miler, and one X for every loop completed, described as one X for every time you've been distilled.
Travel times noted from nearby cities are: Chattanooga about 50 minutes west, Nashville about 1.5 hours southeast, Huntsville about 1.5 hours northeast, Knoxville about 2.5 hours west, and Birmingham about 3 hours north.
