About the race
Dirty South Trail Races take place at Mead's Quarry near Ijams Nature Center in Knoxville, Tennessee. The event includes a Half Marathon (13.1 miles), a Trail 10K, and a Kids Trail Mile. The 13.1-mile course winds through Forks of the River Wildlife Area, William Hastie Park, Marie Myers Park, Ross Marble Quarry, Ijams Nature Center, and other trails, offering a mix of rocky, technical single-track and flowing sections with a 4-hour time limit.
A sustainability focus encourages carpooling and transit options. Perks include a tech shirt and Knoxville Track Club TTT series awards; rules emphasize safety and no bib transfers. Volunteer opportunities are available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
