Mid-State Mile : Last Person Standing in Franklin, TN
The Mid-State Mile is a Last Person Standing running event held June 20, 2026, on private land near downtown Franklin, Tennessee, at 9600 Big East Fork Road. The event uses a single loop course called The Murder Mile.
The course is approximately 1 mile per loop with about 340 feet of elevation gain per loop. Runners will encounter two climbs, fast runnable sections between them, and an easy downhill through a field to the start and finish area. The surface is an old logging road on wide double track.
This event runs as a Last Runner Standing format. Runners are given 20 minutes to complete each loop and must be in the starting corral at the start of the next loop; at the start they must leave the corral and take two steps past the starting line. Runners who return after the 20 minute limit are eliminated. No runner may accept aid while on the course. Rules for declaring a winner require a final solo lap completed within the time limit as a victory lap; if the last runner cannot complete the required lap in time, there will be no winner.
Entries are managed via a waitlist. An initial selection of roughly 85 entries will be added beginning January 3, with past Mid-State and Tennessee Mile participants prioritized. Remaining slots are filled mostly from the waitlist, with some discretionary selections. Registration closes June 19 at 11:59 PM CT. No refunds or rollovers are issued. Camping options and gear or tent rentals are available. Spectators are allowed but must follow event rules. Pets are not permitted. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
