Event Details

The race is part of the King & Queen Series and the Tennessee Running Tour. The race is owned and managed by the State of Franklin Track Club. It is part of SFTC's 2026 King & Queen Competition series. 

David Crockett Birthplace State Park will be open for the race but with limited access. Because of the limited access to the park, I will not be having an age group awards ceremony, but each runner will receive a medal at the finish line. But the overall male & female will receive a trophy at the finish line. 

Also, I will have a donation jar for donation for the "Friends of the Park" to help restore the park.

Nestled on 105 acres in Limestone, Tennessee, David Crockett Birthplace State Park marks the humble beginnings of the legendary frontiersman. While currently closed due to extensive flood damage, the park offers a glimpse into 18th-century frontier life. The park features a replica cabin, a visitor center with exhibits, and access to the Nolichucky River, promising a blend of history and natural beauty upon its reopening.
