Trail of Fears : Jackson, TN
Trail of Fears is a Last Runner Standing trail race held in Jackson, Tennessee. The course is based on a single trail loop of 4.3 mile length. Competitors must complete each loop within one hour; runners who do not finish the loop in less than one hour are eliminated. When the race resumes at the top of the next hour, any runner who does not answer the bell is also eliminated. The event repeats these hourly loops until only one runner remains.
Runners who complete a loop in less than one hour have the remaining time before the next hour to rest, refuel, and prepare for the next lap. The event can continue into evening hours and organizers note that wildlife such as coyotes may be present around the course. The race is listed as a variable distance event because the total distance each competitor covers depends on how many loops they complete.
Entry information in the event listing shows a single available offer with an entry price of USD 97.06. Past winning distances reported for the event range from about 51.6 miles to 111.8 miles, reflecting that total distances depend on how long the competition continues.
