The hook

Three things to know.

01

A trail half that runs fast

Relatively flat for a trail course, built for runners who want trail miles without the climbing that turns most trail halves into all-day projects. PR-friendly if that’s what you’re after.

02

Fall in Middle TN is the move

October 10 puts you right in the window when mornings feel like jacket weather and afternoons feel like a vacation. Color on the trees, dry trail under foot.

03

A park worth showing up to

Henry Horton is one of Tennessee’s most underrated state parks. We’re building this race to be the kind you’d road-trip for: finish line, park hang, and all.

The course (in progress)

Fast trail, fair miles.

Henry Horton is a 13.1-mile trail half marathon on the park’s soft-surface trails: rolling, runnable, and relatively flat for a trail course. Built for runners who love being on trail but don’t want their half marathon turned into an ultra by 5,000 ft of climbing.

Expect a smooth, well-marked single-track and double-track route through the park, just enough roll to keep things interesting, and a finish that lands you back at the park’s main area.

We’re finalizing the exact route in coordination with Tennessee State Parks. The map below will go live with the official course once it’s permitted.
