Scenic City Trail Race
The Scenic City Trail Race is a trail running event based at the James Ave Softball Complex / White Oak Ballfields in Red Bank, Tennessee, using a measured 6.6496 mile loop on Stringer's Ridge trails. The course is run in laps: the half marathon is two laps and the marathon is four laps of the loop. Aid stations are located about halfway through the loop (approximately 3.25 miles) and at the start/finish (approximately 6.65 miles) and will offer water, Tailwind electrolyte drink, fruit, salty and sweet snacks, fig bars, gorp, soda, and basic first aid supplies.
The event is operated as a cupless race. All participants must carry a personal hydration source such as a hydration pack, hand-held water bottle, or waist belt; aid stations may have few to no cups available. The organizer asks participants and spectators to avoid littering; obvious littering can result in disqualification and future race bans. Headphones are strongly discouraged and dogs are not allowed on the course.
