Three Sisters Ultra Festival

The Three Sisters Ultra Festival is a timed trail event held in the Maryville College Woods in Maryville, TN. The festival offers solo and team options with timed categories of 24 hour, 12 hour, and 6 hour, plus relay teams and a night option for the 6 and 12 hour races. The course is a measured 2.2 mile loop that starts and finishes at the McArthur Pavilion, with about 120 feet of elevation gain per loop.

Aid is available every loop at the pavilion area, and participants may set up a personal aid area under the pavilion or in the surrounding yard. Access to aid station amenities is limited to registered runners and pacers; pacers must wear a bib picked up at packet pickup. The event uses chip timing; bibs should be worn on the front of the body so laps are recorded.

Packet pickup is available the evening before the event and on the morning of the event. The festival includes live music and other on-site activities during the weekend.

The Three Sisters are a nearby group of peaks on Chilhowee Mountain visible from the Maryville College campus; the highest nearby peak reaches 2,843 feet. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
