Big Al’s 200

200 miler starts Tuesday 
100 miler starts FRIDAY 

*you can start early or late for the 100 miler but will not be eligible for podium placement unless you start at the official start time 
Early start for the 100 is Thursday @10 am
Anyone dropping down from the 200 to the 100 is not eligible for podiums either and must stop at 100 miles. Going past that will result in a DNF without completing 200 miles.

We are excited to be going into year 4 of being the FIRST set distance 200. Other races have hours and people have hit 200 miles but we are distance specific.

Due to the nature of this event space will be extremely limited. We will offer camp setup rentals for those traveling or looking to make things a bit easier. Named after BMFJ’s daddy and the Jones family farm on Big East Fork rd

If you are familiar with Mid-State or the Tennessee Mile then you know exactly what you are signing up for but there’s a slight twist. 

This is a 2 mile loop that shares the same woods as the Murder Mile but with less sinister climbs and descents. Traversing across and alongside beautiful black slate springs and traveling the ridge lines this will show you the beauty of these magical woods. Runners will have 120 hours to complete this challenge. 
48 hours ( early start72) for the 100 

Runners will be self supported but we will serve breakfast and dinner along with electrolytes and some aid station treats such as broth and soups. There will be water jugs throughout the event.

Runners may leave and return to the race. This is great for local runners looking to tackle a challenge and still make it home for dinner or squeeze in hours at the office.

This will be mostly single track and runners will need to use GPS to log their run. We will have a form of tracking the loops but due to the nature of this event runners will need to verify distance covered.

This will still have a fairly significant amount of elevation gain. Finishers of the 200 will receive a special jacket and buckles. 100 milers will receive buckles. 

200 Mile elevation gain 55,000ft
100 Mile elevation gain 27,000ft
