  • 14 miles

The event is open to runners and speed-hikers only; it was not designed for walkers. There is a strict time limit for finishing. Three aid stations are located at mile 4, mile 8, and mile 11.5. Post-race food and beverages are provided. The park has a swimming pool available for participants during the day.

Course and registration

The 14-mile course uses single-track trails and varied terrain. The shorter 7K follows the first part of the Hyner Half course, includes the first big climb, and returns with a downhill finish. The 7K route gives over 1,000 feet of elevation gain and about 1,000 feet of loss within roughly 4.5 miles. The 7K route names include Long Fork, a deer fence section, and a Log Hollow descent.

Registration opens December 16 and has limited entries. All participants must enter a qualifying event and time before being an official participant. The event policy states no refunds, no deferrals, no bib transfers, and no bandits. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
