DARK HOLLOW WALLOW

DATE TIME PLACE: Sunday afternoon, March 13, 2016. 2:00 pm. KIDS RACE starts at 1:30 pm. Starts/finishes at Big Ridge State Park on state highway 61 between Norris and Maynardville.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The eleven mile course delves into long forgotten, mud-slogged crevasses thought to be haunted by haints, demons, banshees, phantoms, and poltergeists. A shorter but similarly challenging five-mile course will also be offered, and a Kids Trail Mile will precede the main race at 1:30 pm. Trail series Grand Prix points, however, will only be awarded for the 11-mile race.

DIRECTIONS: Take I-75 to exit 122, then follow Highway 61 east for approximately 12 miles. Park entrance is on the left. GPS junkies, look for 1015 Big Ridge Park Rd, Maynardville, TN 37807. Latitude, Longitude: 36.243240, -83.930417

REGISTRATION AND FEES: Fee: $15.00 for pre-registration and online registration. Five bucks for students 14 and younger. Three KTC volunteer coupons will waive fee. NOTE: Day of Race registration $20.00 or four volunteer coupons.

T-SHIRTS: Special limited edition T-shirts will be printed for the series. This is the same shirt as at all other Treadin’ Trodden Trails races; one shirt per runner PER SEASON please. Taking multiple shirts minimizes monies we are able to donate to trail friendly causes.

SPECIAL SERIES AWARDS: Points will be awarded for overall finish (and volunteerism) at each of the TTT Series races. Top point earners at the end of the series (10 each male / female and < 40 / 40+) will receive TTT Series awards. Overall top male and female and top male and female masters qualify for free entry to the entire 2017 Treadin' Trodden Trails racing season. In order to qualify for a series award, an individual must be a current KTC member and volunteer at a minimum of two Treadin’ Trodden Trails events. Point totals accrue in a
maximum of eight series events.

RESULTS: Results will be available on the Knoxville Track Club website: www.ktc.org

COURSE ETIQUETTE: We reserve the right to disqualify anyone who exhibits unsportsmanlike conduct or is abusive to volunteers. Due to insurance regulations, no headsets, earphones, bicycles, baby strollers, roller blades or pets on the course.

SAFETY: Aid and water stations will be provided, but in an effort to be greener, we require all runners to carry their own water. If you don't own a handheld, consider purchasing one; they're quite useful out on the trails. Otherwise a basic water bottle will be provided. We also strongly recommend that anyone sensitive to insect stings or bites carry their own medication. Finally, we urge that everyone do some pre-race training offroad, as there is no substitute for experience. We want you to have a good time.
