Third Circle of Hell : Sneedville, TN
The last annual Third Circle of Hell is a 420 Miler listed in Sneedville, Tennessee, with the Hancock County Courthouse shown as a location reference. The course runs mainly on back roads and includes numerous turns that require careful route finding. Long stretches pass through remote areas of the state with limited or no services, so entrants must carry adequate supplies.
The route includes 24 major climbs and traverses four named geographic mountain features: the long Pressure Ridges of upper East Tennessee, the Crab Orchard Mountains, the Cumberland Plateau with the Sequatchie Valley, and the southern extension of Lookout Mountain. These features define significant elevation change and varied terrain along the course.
This event is the third jewel in a triple crown of Tennessee Journey Runs and is designated for experienced Journey Runners. Entry prerequisites require completion of both the Vol State and Heart of the South Journey Runs. Lodging plans list the Hale Springs Inn in Rogersville, an inn with over 200 years of history and mostly single-bed rooms; overflow accommodations are listed at the Comfort Inn. The entry form includes an option to indicate shared-room requests for couples. Registration closes on Thu, Jul 30 at 11:59 PM ET. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
