Upchuck 50k

On the beautiful Cumberland Trail, past Possum Creek, lies the trail that makes this the toughest trail marathon in existence! Rocky terrain, stream crossings, steep hills and sights like Beaked Trout Lilies and Immodium Falls (That’s what the runners call it) make it the most rewarding trail marathon. Join us, if you dare, for this minimally supported out and back single-track wonder.
