The Pistol Ultra Run - Alcoa, Tennessee
The Pistol is a multi-distance running event held March 13–14, 2027 in Alcoa, Tennessee. Races start and finish at the Springbrook Pool Center and use a paved greenway that follows Pistol Creek. The course is USATF certified and described as flat and fast with a loop layout.
Support features include fully stocked aid stations, volunteers positioned along the course, and night lighting on sections of the route for safety. The event allows push rims and walkers.
