About the race
The Tennessee Mile is a multi-division timed running event held December 4–6, 2026 on private land near Franklin, TN. The event uses a looped course of about 1.1 miles with approximately 340 feet of elevation gain per loop. The course follows an old logging road with a wide double-track tread, two substantial climbs, runnable sections, and a downhill through a field to the start and finish area.
Divisions include:
- 40 Hour timed division
- 24 Hour timed division
- 12 Hour timed division
- 8 Hour Night division
- 6 Hour timed division
- 3 Hour timed division
- Youth 5K for children 16 and under
Runners track their own loops and may complete as many or as few loops within their chosen total time. Crews and aid may be provided anywhere on the course; runners are expected to bring their own aid setup because large communal tents are not provided. Event organizers supply water and electrolytes but not individual nutrition. Camping is allowed in the main field; pop-up canopy style tents are permitted in the crew area while staking tents are restricted near the start and finish.
Pacing and company rules vary by division: some divisions permit pacing at any point, others restrict or prohibit pacing. There are no refunds or deferrals. Proceeds, if any, may be used to support property maintenance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
