Fort Frenzy Ultra Festival

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 in Vonore, Tennessee. The event uses a 3.65 mile loop with about 500 feet of elevation gain per loop. The trail is primarily on designated trail (about 99%); the section by the pavilion is paved. The loop follows the lakeshore and rolling hills and returns to a pavilion start and finish area.

Event formats include multiple timed endurance options:

• 24 Hour endurance race
• 12 Hour endurance race
• 6 Hour endurance race
• 3 Hour endurance race
• 6 Hour Ruck (rucksacks only)

The 6 Hour Ruck division requires weighted rucksacks only, with specified minimum weights by category and a finisher patch issued to ruck finishers. Distances of 50k or greater at this event qualify for the Cherokee Ultra in 2027. A special Tennessee Double Ultra Festival option pairs this 24 Hour event with the Three Sisters Ultra Festival; the two medals are designed to lock together.

Finisher awards are given to all endurance finishers; top three male and female finishers in each distance receive placement medals. A $500 prize is listed for anyone who breaks the existing 24 Hour course record of 113.15. The event does not offer refunds or deferrals.
