The last annual Third Circle of Hell
The event is a long-distance Journey Run based in Sneedville, Tennessee. The advertised distance is 420 Miler. The course runs mainly on back roads and includes numerous turns that require route finding. There are long stretches through remote areas of Tennessee without available services, so entrants must carry adequate supplies. The route includes 24 major climbs and passes through four primary mountain features: the Pressure Ridges of upper East Tennessee, the Crab Orchard Mountains, the Cumberland Plateau and Sequatchie Valley combination, and the southern extension of Lookout Mountain.
This race is presented as the third jewel in a triple crown of Tennessee Journey Runs. Entrants must have completed both the Vol State and Heart of the South Journey Runs before participating. The organizer describes the event as suitable only for experienced Journey Runners.
Lodging arrangements include rooms at the Hale Springs Inn in Rogersville, noted for its historical status of over 200 years, with limited availability. Overflow accommodations will be at the Comfort Inn. The organizer may pair entrants who indicate they can share a bed to maximize space at the Hale Springs Inn.
