Natchez Trace Trail Run
To all the runners who joined us yesterday for the Natchez Trace Trail Run, thank you! Your determination made this event. Whether you tackled the 50-miler, marathon, halfish marathon, or rucking division, we’re proud of every one of you. We hope you had an amazing experience on the trails, and we’re excited to announce that your results are now available online!
Volunteers.
Each year, maintaining these trails requires a dedicated team. Thankfully, we’re fortunate to have an incredible community of volunteers who generously donate their time to weed-eat, blow, flag, and trim the trail you enjoyed yesterday.
Beyond trail maintenance, there are many others who support in countless ways: providing medical assistance, staffing aid stations, offering transportation when runners need it, managing timing, and collecting over 2,000 course markers. These events simply wouldn’t happen without such dedicated individuals. If you have the chance, please thank our volunteers, and consider helping at at a local trail race. I promise they could use it.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to bring you even more thrilling adventures. Here are some upcoming events to add to your calendar:
HARDWIN VACATIONS

We have two spots left on our Patagonia Hut to Hut Mountain Traverse.: This is an epic exhilarating 8-day trail running experience in Patagonia, offering breathtaking landscapes and challenging terrains. Let us know if you're interested.
The Maine Event
This trip is pretty hardcore but offers a lot in terms of life experience. Think you're ready to tackle some of toughest terrain I know?

We are working on a summer trip out West to Tahoe and Yosemite!! I should have details up in December. Then we are working on a trip to Iceland. Will have details up in Jan probably.
Our next two races are:
Fiery Gizzard Run

Location: 75 Fiery Gizzard Rd, Tracy City, TN
Details: Half and full marathon distances on one of the top 25 trails in the U.S., featuring waterfalls, rock formations, and stunning overlooks.
Black Toe Run
Date: 2/1/25

This race is probably our largest and is pretty much a huge two day party with bon fires, tons of food, cold weather, rows upon rows of campsites, rain, mud, tears, and good cheer.

So be sure to like these pages to stay tuned.
Last we offer free speed training each Tuesday at 5:30am Rose Track. We call ourselves the Tardigrades Track Club. We're pretty badass. Anyways if you're new to speed training come out. We have people at all speeds and all ages so don't be scared. If you wanna join our mailing list just let me know and I will put you on it. Like I said it is completely free and very rewarding.
