Natchez Trace Trail Run

The Natchez Trace Trail Run, held in Franklin, Tennessee, offers a challenging and scenic experience along the historic Natchez Trace Trail. Scheduled for November 1, 2025, the event features multiple distances: a 50-mile out-and-back ultra, a marathon, a half marathon, and a 13-mile rucking race. The trail spans approximately 25 miles of mostly single-track paths with up to 6,000 feet of elevation gain for the ultra, combining rugged terrain and historical significance.

Runners must carry their own hydration, adhere strictly to the trail, and no pacers or outside aid are allowed. Custom awards honor top finishers, and a rucking division requires participants to carry weighted packs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
