3.5-MILES ON THE DUCK RIVER   The canoe start will be near the Maury County Jail (thus the name).  We will start in waves of about 30 canoes.  The person in the back of the canoe hangs on to a rope strung across the river.  Waves will begin 7 minutes apart.  Expect the canoe trip to take 40+ minutes.  Participants will need to wear shoes, water shoes, or mountain bike shoes and expect them to get wet.  Life jackets must be worn; the rental companies will provide them but personally owned jackets are allowed. 

8-MILE MOUNTAIN BIKE ON SINGLE TRACK   The bike course will be one loop of the Chickasaw Trace Park trails minus two difficult climbs.  It is almost all single-track trails in woods.  There are plenty of technical (difficult and challenging) sections.  After two miles the course takes on several tough climbs.  Riding the course in advance is encouraged.  Cycling participants must gain some mountain bike experience on trails before racing.  Beginners are welcome, but first-timers on trails may be pulled from the race.  Approaching riders must be allowed to pass.  Passing is generally accomplished by the approaching rider announcing, “On your left,” or “I need by,” and then the lead rider must concede and allow the pass.  Helmets must be worn.

2.5-MILE TRAIL RUN   The run section is on the flattest and easiest portion of the mountain bike trail.  There are some terrain challenges and a long, gradual incline in the second mile.  We do not expect bikes to be on the same trail portion at the same time as runners except as a backup plan if a trailer of canoes does not show.  If this occurs we ask bicyclists to announce their approach and pass carefully.  Relay Runners:  Expect to wait 40+ minutes for your partner to return from biking.  You may get wet on the canoe trip, so be prepared to stay warm with a towel or blanket or a change of clothes.  The run course is updated for 2021 to include running beside or in the Death Ditch, depending on wetness, and will measure 2.5-miles exactly.  Whereas previous years were 300 feet short of 2.5-miles.
