Gone Loco - Athens, TN, February 14, 2027
Gone Loco is an endurance event held on the Eureka Trail in Athens, Tennessee. The event offers multiple race options on a former railroad bed described by the organizers as very flat and highly runnable. The course is marathon certified under code TN25001MS and the event changed from a 55K to a 50K distance beginning in 2026.
Distances:
- 50K
- 11 Miler
- 11 Mile Ruck
Entry to the live race is limited to 200 participants. The 50K serves as a qualifier for The Cherokee Ultra. Two fully stocked aid stations are planned, one at the start/finish and one at the turnaround in Englewood. A livestream of the race will be available on YouTube.
The 11-mile ruck division is an open weighted-vest category with required dry weights: men 30 lb, women 20 lb, boys under 15 20 lb, girls under 15 10 lb. Mandatory weigh-in is required roughly 30 to 60 minutes before each start; no weigh-in means no finisher patch or result for ruck competitors. Pacers are permitted in the 50K after the first lap with event notification. Every official finisher receives a patch; prizes are planned for the top three overall male and female finishers. The event does not offer refunds. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
