Mid-State Mile (June 20, 2026)
The Mid-State Mile is a Last Person Standing event held on private land near Franklin, Tennessee, at 9600 Big East Fork Rd. The event uses a roughly 1 mile loop with about 340 feet of elevation gain per loop. The course is an old logging road with wide double track, two climbs, runnable sections between them, and an easy downhill through a field to the start/finish area. The organizers describe the loop as "The Murder Mile." The property is about 20 minutes from downtown Franklin. Spectators are allowed but must follow event rules; pets are not permitted on site.
