Big South Fork Trail Race
The Big South Fork Trail Race takes place in the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, with the start and finish located at the Bandy Creek Campground in Oneida, Tennessee. Participants can choose between two distinct distances:
- 17.5 Miles
- 10K
The 17.5 Mile event follows an out-and-back loop course starting at the John Litton General Slavens Trailhead. The route begins with 1.5 miles of paved and gravel surfaces, while the remainder of the course consists of single track trail. This distance features aid stations located at approximately 3.5, 5, 12, and 14 miles. The 10K participants follow a loop course primarily made of single track trail.
A minimum pace of 18:00 per mile is required for all participants to remain in the competition. For safety, runners under 12 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. The event prohibits the use of headsets, earphones, bicycles, baby strollers, roller blades, and pets on the course.
All participants must pre-register as there is no late or race day registration. After completing their distance, runners are invited to a family picnic in the staging area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
