Fall Creek 100 2026

Fall Creek 100 takes runners across two suspension bridges, one over Cane Creek Falls and another over Piney Creek Falls, within Fall Creek Falls State Park in Tennessee. The event offers 50K, 100K, and 100-mile trail races. The course is less technical and quicker than many in the region due to fewer rocks and roots. The route includes Milikan's Overlook, which views the park's 256-foot Fall Creek Falls, and two additional waterfalls visible from approximately 40 yards. Participants will also run four miles alongside Fall Creek Falls Lake, through pine forests, and on creekside paths bordered by moss and ferns, crossing numerous bridges. For the longer distances, race logistics are straightforward: 50K and 100K runners have overall finish times but no intermediate cutoffs, while 100-mile runners face cutoffs beginning at mile 66.7. Pacers are permitted for 100-mile participants from mile 48.5. The handcrafted awards reflect the water theme, featuring flame-torched steel for finishers and epoxy waterfall designs for 50K, 100K, and podium honorees.
