The Course
The 6K course is ~3.4 miles with ~440 feet of vertical gain, mostly on rolling, hard-packed mountain bike trails. After a steep climb in the first mile, the last 2.5 miles are a rolling descent to the finish. Whether you are a beginner trail runner or love crushing a short, fast trail course, this race is for you.
Adventure Program Affinity Fund
Proceeds from your registration fee will go to support Southern's Adventure Program
Affinity Fund. This fund is used to bring disadvantaged, inner-city children from
Hamilton County schools to the ropes course on campus and our other outdoor programs.
With your help, we can raise money to show hundreds of young students the magic of
the woods for the first time.
