Savage Gulf Marathon

The Savage Gulf Marathon, taking place on March 29, 2025, is renowned as one of the toughest marathons in the U.S., featuring challenging terrain and steep climbs in Tennessee's Savage Gulf Park. Participants can choose between a full marathon and a 25K race, with a new 25K section introduced this year. The event is organized by HardWin Adventures and the Tennessee Park Rangers Association, with proceeds supporting training scholarships for park rangers.

Runners will experience stunning natural scenery, including waterfalls and old-growth forests, while navigating rugged trails. Safety measures include a cut-off time at mile 18 to ensure participant well-being. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
