Fiery Gizzard Run

Sequatchie, United States • 29 Nov 2025

The Fiery Gizzard Run, held at Foster Falls State Park in Tennessee, features both half and full marathon distances on one of the Top 25 Trails in the US. The course offers scenic views with waterfalls, rock formations, and overlooks, combining mostly flat ridgeline running with several steep, technical descents into gorges. Marathon runners complete the trail twice in an out-and-back format, while half marathoners traverse it once.

Aid stations are spaced 6-8 miles apart, so participants must carry sufficient supplies. The event also includes a rucking division, where participants carry weighted packs. Proceeds support park and trail maintenance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
