Description
This race course is STUNNING!
There will be no leaves on the trees to obstruct long views of two states (AL and TN) from the ridges.
The course includes three large waterfalls and numerous canyon views. Sitton's Gulch Trail is a favorite, with giant boulders, a beautiful cascading creek, and moss-covered rocks lining the gulch.
There will be one aid station for runners at mile 6.
Flora & Fauna
The event is held near the end of the winter season. There will be leaves on the trails but the trees will be bare.
