CANEY FORK ULTRA

A DEEP RUN THROUGH TENNESSEE'S WILDEST BACKCOUNTRY

Caney Fork takes runners into the rugged Caney Fork and Scotts Gulf region of the Cumberland Plateau—an ancient landscape shaped by water, limestone and time. Towering bluffs rise above deep gorges, streams disappear underground, waterfalls burst from the rock and miles of forest remain genuinely remote.

Expect technical trail, sustained climbs and descents, shaded hollows, high overlooks, creek crossings and long stretches where you feel far from everything. This is not a groomed trail race. The miles are earned here.

RACE WEEKEND

Both races start and finish at Camp Latimer, our home base for the weekend. Lodging is available as a registration add-on, including raised-platform tent camping with cots and climate-controlled cabin accommodations.
