Come enjoy the beauty of Tennessee's most popular state park. Cooler temps, shaded run course, and the highest free-falling waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains are just a few of the attractions of the Fall Creek Falls 50K & Half Marathon Trail Runs. Post-race meal and music for all participants. Centrally located between Nashville, Chattanooga, and Knoxville. Race start time is 8:00 AM Central Time for 50K & 9 AM Central for Half Marathon.
Course update to come soon:
The Half Marathon will start in the parking lot at Betty Dunn Nature Center and go up Park Rd to the North Upper Loop. This will allow the pack to thin out a bit before entering the trail. The Half Marathon will be one loop and finish at the pavilion at Betty Dunn Nature Center.
The 50k will start in the Betty Dunn Nature Center parking lot and go up Park Rd to the North Upper Loop. This will allow the pack to thin out a bit before entering the trail. Once the first loop is completed, you will complete a 2nd Loop. Once you exit the Upper Loop at the Fire Tower Road, an additional 4.8 mile out and back will be marked, then head back to the Finish Line for your Finish.
We should have a block of rooms available at the Lodge at Fall Creek Falls for those who are registered for the events. Click the Lodge menu at the top of this page for more info on getting your room.
