Walking Tall 50/25k

The Walking Tall 50/25K is a trail running event taking place on October 19, 2024, at Big Hill Pond State Park in Pocahontas, TN. Participants can choose between a 50K or 25K course, both featuring scenic single-track trails, a challenging fire tower climb, and a unique swamp boardwalk. The event honors the legacy of local sheriff Buford Pusser and aims to be accessible for both seasoned runners and first-timers. With a strict time limit and full aid stations, the race supports charity, with proceeds benefiting the park and the Tennessee Park Rangers Association. Camping is available year-round at the park.
