It’s Just A Mile

EVERYONE WILL GO TO A WAITLIST AND WE WILL START CONFIRMING ENTRIES JANUARY 3rd.FOR THE FIRST 85 ENTRIES WE WILL AUTOMATICALLY ADD YOU AND NOT SEND AN INVITATION EMAIL. If you sign up in the first 3 days expect to be charged .Waiting on confirmation emails for 85 people takes way too long and is a huge pain to plan around.Past participants from Mid-State and then Tennessee Mile will be selected first. Empty slots then will be filled mostly in order from the waitlist. We still reserve the right to add at our discretion filling an allotted amount of spots with handpicked participants and selecting past participants first.

Training plans are available for purchase by our Mother of The Murder Mile BMFJ herself.

We also offer camping gear and race setup/tent rentals for your convenience.Please send us an email or reachout at www.bmfjevents.com

If you’re curious about the course and want to give it a try before Mid-State please checkout our timed event on the same course The Tennessee Mile and our 100 & 200 miler Big Al’s or join our trail club MF'n Trail Club

We highly encourage anyone wanting to run who is a first timer to run the Tennessee Mile. This Mid-State was the first year we did not get all the way through the waitlist and we are a tiered selection process. Meaning first timers are selected after past Mid-State & TN Mile participants in that initial selection process. The 72 hour window is the most important time to sign up.

NO PETS

VERY SERIOUS AND POSSIBLY THE NUMBER ONE RULE

We love our furry friends as much as you do but there are other pets that call this home and they aren’t looking to share. If you bring your furry friend you will be asked to take them back to their home. Please don’t make us do that. DO NOT BE THAT PERSON. Runners inform your friends, family and crew of this rule. It is nonnegotiable.

The Course

The Mid-state Mile will take place on what we have deemed The Murder Mile. The course is housed on private land just 20 minutes from Downtown Franklin . Within 1 mile and 340 feet of elevation gain per loop you’ll encounter two climbs with fast runnable sections between them an an easy downhill section through the field to the start/finish area. The course itself is an old logging road so it’s nice wide double track.This will be a Last Runner Standing event. Runners will be given 20 minutes to complete the loop and must be back in the starting corral ready to start the next loop.

Refunds

We DO NOT issue refunds or rollovers.

Doesn’t matter if you have your cousin’s shotgun wedding or your best friend’s dog’s bridal shower to attend if you cannot make the event your money is donated to the cause for those able to attend.

All dollar dollar bills collected go to hosting these events and course and property maintenance. We do not charge outlandish fees so know your hard earned cash is going back into the community and keeping the Jones Family Property ready for visitors.

We aren’t a park and we do not receive funding so everything you see and experience is because of loving and dedicated trail runners and supporters. So before you signup please consider this a donation and be okay parting with a few dollars that go back to these events. So THANK YOU we appreciate you!
