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 on the ultra course, combining natural beauty with historical significance.

Participants must carry their own hydration and adhere to strict course rules, including no pacers or outside aid. Custom awards honor top finishers, and a rucking division requires weighted packs, adding a unique challenge. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
