The Tennessee Mile

The Tennessee Mile

The Tennessee Mile is a looped trail event held on private land near downtown Franklin, TN. The course is a 1.1 mile loop with about 340 feet of elevation gain. It follows an old logging road with a wide double track trail, contains two significant climbs, runnable sections between them, and a downhill through a field to the start and finish area. Runners are responsible for tracking and logging their own loops; there is no per-loop time limit.

Divisions include:

• 40 hour division
• 24 hour division
• 12 hour division
• 8 hour night division
• 6 hour division
• Youth 5K for children 16 and under only
• 3 hour division

Camping is allowed in the large field; tents requiring strings and stakes are not permitted in the start and finish area. Crews may use popup canopy style tents in the designated crew area and may provide aid there. Runners must provide their own nutrition; water and electrolytes will be available on course. Pacing and company rules vary by division; some divisions allow pacing at certain times while shorter divisions restrict pacers.

Training plans and camping gear or tent rentals are offered by the organizer. There are no refunds or deferrals; event proceeds may be donated to help the property owners maintain the land. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
