You've seen Blu and Isaac's videos at Cookson. Now come experience the beauty of Cookson Hills Wildlife Management Area (WMA) for yourself. As the first official running/walking/hiking event in Cookson, we have been given access for 70 participants. THIS EVENT WILL SELL OUT FAST!  That is as much as the permit allows, and we must all do our part in keeping Cookson free of litter as always: Leave No Trace. If we want a shot at being allowed to hold future events in Cookson, we must protect the land and the animals who call it home.  

Pacers are not allowed for this event. Drop bags will be transported to an aid station on the course. Make sure to attach your name and bib number in a water-resistant bag.  


Overnight camping is not allowed at any time in Cookson WMA.  There are no parking fees.

7pm     Cutoff

Swag, Buckles, Awards, Eats

All participants receive a hoodie.  Those who complete the 33 mile loop within the 10-hour (6pm) Cutoff receive a finisher belt buckle.  

Top 3 finishers receive awards. No gender awards. Top 3 humans.   

This is not a chip timed event due to it being a single 33-mile continuous loop with only 70 participants. However, we will be recording finish times just as diligently as we would with any chip timed event.  Meal is provided for participants and volunteers at the finish area.  

Course

This 33 mile adventure follows dirt/gravel roads and four-wheel drive access roads that can often be covered with thick leaves in sections. There is about 4,500' of elevation. Trekking poles are allowed.  There are multiple water crossings. It may be dry creek beds or it may be knee deep depending on rainfall.  Water stations and aid stations will be along the course. Much of this race you will not be able to see people in front or behind you. The course will be marked, but it is your responsibility to know the route. It is highly recommended that you use an app that sends live tracking data back to race staff and your emergency contact person.  Watch our social media pages for more information about this.  Course is not closed to vehicle traffic, but it is rare for vehicles to be in the area, as it is remote and some of it requires 4-wheel drive for passage. The only ATV's allowed on the course are those used by race staff to sweep the course and provide first aid or extraction if necessary.

Race Fee: $100
