One way, point to point. A bus leaves Garrison Creek at 7:00 AM for the far trailhead, and runners run back to Garrison Creek. Everyone passes Garrison Creek at mile 23.1, then runs a final 3.3 mile loop to the finish.
A trail run on the Highland Rim section of the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail, starting from the Garrison Creek trailhead south of Franklin, Tennessee. Roughly 25 miles of singletrack follows the ridges above the old road bed, with creek crossings, a handful of road crossings, and long stretches where you will not see another runner for an hour. The 50 Mile is an out and back from Garrison Creek. The marathon, half marathon and 13 mile ruck ride a bus to the far end and run back toward Garrison Creek. The field is capped at 180 across all four distances.

These are other people's work and we link straight to them. Watching costs nothing and needs no account. More of them: every race we hold, on film.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
This changes nothing on the page on its own. Somebody checks it against the race first.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
Somebody watches it before it goes anywhere near this page. What we are after is footage of this course, on the ground. If it would be just as true of any other race, it is not this.
We want the address of the file the race publishes, not the file. We download it from there so the page can say where the line came from.
We read every one of these and we write back. Every fact here carries the source it came from, and the way a wrong one gets fixed is a person checking it against what you tell us.
Cutoffs move, races get postponed, lotteries open and close. We read the race's own sources and record where every fact came from. Put your email in and we will send you what changed, and where we read it.
No account, and nothing to cancel.
What happens to your email. Nothing else. I do not sell it, and I will not send you anything except this race changing. One click gets you out.
I keep this catalog because the information is scattered and hard to trust. Telling you when it moves is the same job.
