The 50k race will start at 7:30 am that morning, while the 10k begins a little later at 9 am.

The 10k has the same starting line, and features a tough figure 8 loop that takes runners to the top of View Park for views of the Chilhowee Mountain and the Smokies in the distance. It has 1 aid station along the way, and is sure to be a blast.
