The Tennessee Mile
The Tennessee Mile is a looped running event held on private land near Franklin, TN. The course is a 1.1 mile loop with about 340 feet of elevation gain, featuring two steep climbs, runnable sections, and a downhill through a field to the start and finish area. The trail follows an old logging road and is a wide double track.

- 8 hour night
- 6 hour
- 3 hour
- Youth 5K (16 and under)
Runners are responsible for tracking and logging their own loops; there is no time limit per loop and participants may log as many or as few loops as they wish. Crews and aid are permitted anywhere on course, but runners must provide their own support setup; large shared tents will not be available. Camping is allowed in the large field; camping tents with stakes are not permitted in the start and finish area. Crews may use pop up canopy style tents within the crew area. Event organizers will provide water and electrolytes, but all personal nutrition must be supplied by each runner.
Training plans and camping gear or tent rentals are offered for purchase by the organizer. Pets are not permitted without prior coordination due to working farm animals on the property. There are no refunds or deferrals for entries. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
