Fort Frenzy Ultra Festival - Vonore, TN
Fort Frenzy Ultra Festival is an endurance running event held at Fort Loudoun State Historic Park on Tellico Lake. The course is a 3.65 mile loop with about 500 feet of elevation gain per loop. The trail is mostly on singletrack and is described as very runnable; the section that leaves the trail begins and ends at the pavilion and is paved.
Available endurance formats include:
- 24 Hour endurance race
- 12 Hour endurance race
- 6 Hour endurance race
- 6 Hour Ruck (rucksacks only)
- 3 Hour endurance race
The 6 Hour Ruck division requires specific loaded weights: men 30 lb dry, women 20 lb dry, boys under 15 20 lb dry, girls under 15 10 lb dry. Weight must be in clearly stamped plates or equivalent; removal or reduction during the event is not authorized. All ruck finishers receive a ruck patch.
Finisher awards are given to all endurance runners. Top three male and female finishers in each distance receive place-designated medals. A cash prize of $500 is designated for any athlete who wins and breaks the 24 hour course record of 113.15 set in 2025. The event participates in a Tennessee Double Ultra Festival pairing with another 24 hour race; paired medals are designed to lock together and a combined placque is provided.
