Course, packet pickup, aid stations and awards
Due to storm damage from Hurricane Helene, the course will be run as an out-and-back between Alvarado Station and the Abingdon Trailhead, covering 17 miles. Race day packet pickup will be available at the Alvarado Station trailhead. Organizers will operate cup-less aid stations; collapsible cups will be provided at packet pickup and participants may use their own hydration systems. Hot beverages and snacks will be available at the finish.
Traditional awards are not given. Handmade mementos will be presented to the overall male and female finishers, the runner who finishes in the middle of the pack, and the final finisher. This year’s memento is a zippered shoe bag with the State of Franklin Track Club logo. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
