The race begins at Calhoun's Restaurant and winds through the Lenoir City Park before entering the cemetery and ascending "The Hill" to Easter Ridge Road. A right on Lakeview Road leads to the rolling, scenic part of the course. A left on Beals Chapel Road follows a brisk downhill to the first water station and a right on Northshore Drive. The long Northshore segment rolls out into Knox County, past the second water station, and to the turnaround on Harvey Road. The return trip back retraces the first half of the course, and what was a brisk quad-busting downhill after mile seven becomes a long, challenging uphill. This climb is a real test, as is the steep descent on the other side, just a mile from the finish. If you can survive that, you'll be home free! Ben Lukowski owns the course record, set in 2008, a swift 52:02. Recent years have seen our race at a record level for entries with more than 280 registered runners each time.
