The Dirt Circuit - Morristown, TN
The Dirt Circuit takes place at Panther Creek State Park, 2010 Panther Creek Road, Morristown, TN 37814. The event uses a 2.9 mile loop trail that resembles a cross country course and combines wide and single-track sections through fields and woods with two wooden bridge crossings.

The course is marked with flags and tape at major trail crossings. Runners must display their bib on the front at all times for lap credit. The event is cup free; participants are responsible for their own hydration systems. A single aid station at Base Camp will provide water, electrolyte drinks, gels, fruit, snacks, first aid, and prepared foods offered at set times during the event.
Relay teams may develop their own handoff strategy and only one team member may run at a time. Pacing and crewing are permitted. Unsportsmanlike conduct, course cutting, littering, or policy violations may lead to disqualification.
