What is Fever Dream? How Long Will You Stay in the Dream?

Welcome to the Fever Dream Ultra, Roane County’s newest endurance event and unlike anything you’ve experienced before. Set on the home trails of the Roane State Red Raiders Cross Country Team at Roane State Community College, this race blends endurance, community, grit, and chaos into one unforgettable weekend.
This isn’t just another looped ultra. This is a 24-hour endurance festival. It’s a place where runners, walkers, ruckers, crews, and spectators all become part of the same energy. A place where there is always movement, always music, always food, and always competition. Whether you’re here to test your limits for 3 hours or stay awake and push through all 24, the Fever Dream is built for everyone.

Choose Your Dream

Run, walk, or ruck as far as you can before time runs out. Simple. Brutal. Beautiful. (Headlamps are strictly required from sundown to sunrise for all evening/night participants).

The Course & The Vibe

The Fever Dream course is a 2-mile loop on a scenic grass path around the Roane State campus. It’s short enough to keep your crew close, but long enough to make every lap matter.
This format creates an atmosphere unlike traditional ultras:
• Constant Action: Your crew sees you often, spectators stay engaged, and the energy never dies. No disappearing into the woods for hours.
• The Festival Village: We are building a full endurance festival complete with overnight RV (hookups available!) and tent camping, fire pits to keep warm, food trucks, vendors, and music. We will even have fireworks to officially ring in the New Year!
• Indoor Staging: Need a break from the elements? We have dedicated inside staging areas for runners and crews to recover and gear up.
• Community: Bring your crew, your family, and your team. Set up camp, cheer, recover, and go back out.
