The marathon runs the entire month of September, in which you have 30 days to complete this year’s trails.

Each year, the Friends of the Trails specially select a set of trails on the Cumberland Plateau.

If you finish the marathon, you get a shirt and a patch.
Register a dog with you, and the dog will get a bandana!
