Fort Frenzy Ultra Festival

Fort Frenzy Ultra Festival

Fort Frenzy Ultra Festival is an endurance running event organized by East Coast Adventures at Fort Loudoun State Historic Park on Tellico Lake in Vonore, TN. The event uses a 3.65 mile loop with about 500 feet of elevation gain per loop. The trail is largely on singletrack and is described as runnable; the only non-trail section begins at the pavilion and is paved. The start and finish are located at the pavilion near 338 Fort Loudon Rd.

Distances offered include:

• 24 Hour (100 mile finishers earn a buckle)
• 12 Hour
• 6 Hour
• 6 Hour Ruck (rucksacks only)
• 3 Hour

The 6 Hour Ruck division requires rucksacks only with specified minimum weights: men 30 lb dry, women 20 lb dry, boys under 15 20 lb dry, girls under 15 10 lb dry. Weight must be a clearly stamped plate or similar item and removal or reduction during the event is not authorized; finishers in the ruck division receive a ruck patch.

The festival includes a Tennessee Double Ultra option that pairs this 24 Hour event with a second 24 Hour event; paired medals are designed to lock together and registrants receive a combined plaque. A $500 prize is offered for any competitor who breaks the current 24 Hour course record of 113.15. No refunds or deferrals are offered for this event.
