From the Organizer
The race is part of the King & Queen Series and the Tennessee Running Tour. The race is owned and managed by the State of Franklin Track Club. It is part of SFTC's 2026 King & Queen Competition series.
David Crockett Birthplace State Park will be open for the race but with limited access. Because of the limited access to the park, I will not be having an age group awards ceremony, but each runner will receive a medal at the finish line. But the overall male & female will receive a trophy at the finish line. Also, I will have a donation jar for donation for the "Friends of the Park" to help restore the park.
THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS
