Gone Loco - Athens, TN
Gone Loco is scheduled for February 14, 2027 in Athens, TN and is organized by East Coast Adventures. The live event is limited to 200 runners and takes place on the Eureka Trail.
Distances
- 50K
- 11 Miler
- 11 Mile Ruck
The course uses the Eureka Trail, a rails to trails conversion that follows a former railroad bed. The surface is fine mesh gravel, described as flat and very runnable, and it passes through woodlands, rural landscapes, and the community of Mashburn before reaching the outskirts of Englewood. The 50K course carries a marathon certification (TN25001MS). The trail system is open to bicycles and horses and is maintained for year round use.
Aid stations are provided at the start/finish and at the turnaround in Englewood and are fully stocked. Hoist is listed as the main hydration sponsor. A livestream on YouTube will provide real-time race coverage.
The 11 mile ruck is an open weighted-vest division with mandatory dry weight requirements: men 30 lb, women 20 lb, boys under 15 20 lb, girls under 15 10 lb. Weigh-in is mandatory before the race; weights must be clearly marked and may not be reduced during the event. Pacers are allowed on the 50K after the first lap and must be registered with race staff. Every official finisher earns a patch. Refunds are not available and swag ordering closes on January 7 for guaranteed sizes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
