Event overview

Mid-State Mile is a Last Person Standing loop race held on private land near Franklin, Tennessee, at 9600 Big East Fork Rd. The event uses a repeating loop of 1 mile with about 340 feet of elevation gain per loop. Registration opens January 1, 2026, and all entries initially go to a waitlist; organizers will begin confirming entries on January 3. The first 85 entries are added automatically. Past Mid-State and Tennessee Mile participants are given priority during initial selection. Organizers reserve discretion to allocate additional spots.

Course and rules

The course is an old logging road with a wide double track. Each loop includes two climbs, runnable sections between them, and an easy downhill through a field back to the start/finish area. Runners have 20 minutes to complete each loop and must be in the starting corral at the start of the next loop and take two steps past the starting line when leaving the corral. Runners arriving after the 20 minute limit are eliminated. No runner may accept aid while on the course. To declare a winner, the final competitor must complete an additional solo "victory lap" within the time limit; if the last runner cannot complete that loop in time, there will be no winner. Camping gear and race setup/tent rentals are available. No pets are allowed. The event does not issue refunds or rollovers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
