Races
The Firey Gizzard Trail Race
For me there are two main places to go to find a race. Since I live in Tennessee the best place for local races is Hardwin Adventures, they are known for their tough courses and fun atmosphere. The second place is UltraSignUp from here you can find almost any race anywhere at any distance with most of them being on trails.
​
My list of races:
-
The Wild Thang 9 Mile - did it twice
-
Stump Jump 11 miler - back when they had an 11 miler, did it 3 times
-
Music City Trail Ultra 27k - did this distance 3 times *
