Mid-State Mile - Event overview
The Mid-State Mile is a Last Person Standing running event scheduled for June 20, 2026 in Franklin, Tennessee. Registration opens January 1, 2026. Entries use a waitlist and selection process: the first 85 entries are automatically added, past Mid-State and Tennessee Mile participants are selected first, and remaining slots are filled mostly in order from the waitlist. Organizers reserve the discretion to add additional participants. The event does not issue refunds or rollovers; entry fees support event hosting and property maintenance.
Course, rules and logistics
Each loop of the course is 1 mile with about 340 feet of elevation gain. The route is on private land, follows an old logging road with wide double track, and includes two climbs, runnable sections, and a downhill through a field to the start/finish area. Runners must be in the starting corral at the start of each loop and take at least two steps past the starting line. Runners who return after the 20-minute loop limit are eliminated. Aid is not allowed on the course. The winner-declaration process requires a final solo loop completed within the time limit as a victory lap in specific scenarios. Camping gear and race setup/tent rentals are available. Spectators are welcome but must follow event rules; pets are not allowed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
