This race series is all within Long Hunter State Park, a few miles outside the Nashville city limits. All race distances circumnavigate Couchville Lake, go out and back on the Bryant Grove trail and do the cliff trail loop.
Emily and I (Scott) live four miles from the park and go here all the time. We’re really happy we get to showcase this area to people. It’s beautiful and makes for a pretty fast, flat race.

Course
The course is a mix of trail and paved trail/asphalt.  The 2-mile trail that goes around Couchville Lake is a paved, greenway type trail. The only other non-dirt areas are the roads connecting the other trails together.

These trails are quite flat and are only mildly technical.  You could be fine with road shoes if it doesn’t rain right before the race
