About

The race kicks off and concludes at the historic Mercer Cotton Gin in the quaint town of Mercer, TN. This small community features a single dining spot, Pappa Daddys, where all finishers will be rewarded with a meal coupon. Participants will encounter a mix of terrain, beginning with rolling hills on asphalt roads in the first half, transitioning to a notably flat course comprising both gravel and asphalt in the latter half. Scenic views of cotton, soybean, and corn fields line the route, while an 8-hour time limit challenges racers to stay focused and finish strong.
