The No Business Hundred is a trail endurance race that begins and ends at the abandoned coal mining town, Blue Heron, just east of Stearns, KY. The course is a single 100+ mile loop that traverses through the heart of the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area across the state line into Tennessee and back on some of the oldest trails in the southeast. Each year the course is run in opposite direction of the previous year with odd years being run clockwise from Blue Heron.

Along the way, participants will pass through towering sandstone arches & rock houses, gaze upon spectacular overlooks & waterfalls, and visit abandoned settlements and homesteads. This epic journey is an adventure through some of the most scenic and wild areas in the region.

At over 14,500ft of climbing and descending, the No Business Hundred may appear at first glance to be a walk in the park. Make no mistake, the technical terrain and remote setting present a challenge that make it a unique hundred mile course.

The race is run counter-clockwise in odd years leaving Blue Heron and clockwise in even years.
