Firewater Ultra - Greenback, TN
Firewater Ultra on October 23, 2027 is a trail running event on the East Lakeshore Trail along the east shore of Tellico Reservoir in Greenback, Tennessee. The finish line is at the southern trail terminus, Wildcat Pointe Trailhead. The event uses the maintained trails of the Watershed Association of the Tellico Reservoir.
Distances and formats offered:
- 100K out-and-back along the full East Lakeshore Trail.
- 50K point-to-point from the northern trailhead back to Wildcat Pointe.
- 50K Relay two-person relay splitting the 50K course.
- 25K Ruck covers the second half of the 50K course.
- 25K Run w/the Ruckers runs the same second half without a ruck.
The 100K runs from Wildcat Pointe north to Canal Branch Trailhead and back. The 50K has two start options called Sunrise and Sunset; the Sunset option is a later start and participants are reminded to carry headlamps as needed. The 50K Relay splits the course so the first leg is longer with less elevation and the second leg is shorter with more climbing; the relay exchange is at Sinking Creek Trailhead.
The 25K Ruck requires dry pack weights by category and a weigh-in before the event; finishers of the Ruck receive a custom patch. Race documents provide aid station locations, distances, cutoff times, crew access, drop bag locations, and pacer entry details. Optional live tracking is available for each race. The event will offer a 2027 hoodie; shirt orders are placed on October 8 to secure sizes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
