About the race
Long Hunter Trail Runs take place entirely inside Long Hunter State Park a few miles outside Nashville. All courses circumnavigate Couchville Lake, include an out-and-back on the Bryant Grove trail and a loop on the cliff trail.
The course surface is a mix of natural trail and paved greenway. The two mile loop around Couchville Lake is paved; the only other non-dirt sections are the roads that connect the trails. The trails are relatively flat and only mildly technical; road shoes may be sufficient when trails are dry.
Distances and climbing:
- Half Marathon - 450 ft of climbing
- Marathon - 850 ft of climbing
- 50 KM - 1,100 ft of climbing
Crew and logistics rules limit direct assistance to the Couchville and Bryant Grove aid stations. Crews and friends may access Jones Mill and Inland parking areas to cheer but must not provide aid outside the two designated aid station locations. Drop bags are allowed for 50 KM runners at the Bryant Grove aid station.
Finisher awards are handmade clay arrowheads with unique designs. Volunteer roles include course clearing, packet pickup, aid station work, and course sweep; volunteers receive a free race entry for themselves or another person plus meals and offered race apparel.
