Watch out Volunteer State! The XTERRA Tennessee Trail Run Series is coming and bringing its extreme, off-road, dirt-on-your-face races to your area. Over the course of 2008, four races will give runners the chance to test their skill against the worst nature can throw at them.
The series kicks off with the XTERRA Seven Islands Trail Run in Knoxville. Runners will battle their way across the challenging 10 kilometers of dirt-filled, wood-lined paths held within the breathtaking 360-acre Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge. But this is no stroll in the park as athletes stare nature right in the face proving no amount of mud, rain, rocks or who-knows-what-other obstacles can stop them.
Rounding out the 2007-2008 Trail Run Season are the XTERRA Forks on the River 10k and the XTERRA Panther Creek Trail Run 10k. From the Forks of the River Wildlife Management Area and the Panther Creek State Park respectively, runners will scramble over intense, root-tripping, hill-climbing trails hoping to finish with strong series totals.
Shortly following the XTERRA National Trail Running Championship, Tennessee ramps it right back up with the start of the 2008-2009 season at the XTERRA Haw Ridge Xduro Trail Run. Being the first opportunity for area runners to experience the new half-marathon distance Xduro, the event is sure to test the endurance of even the most seasoned athlete.
