Firewater

The Firewater 100K, 50K (Sunrise & Sunset), and 50K Relay all take place on the East Lakeshore Trail on the east coast of the Tellico Reservoir. Firewater was the first event to utilize this trail system end-to-end, and this will be the 11th year running! We have The Watershed Association of the Tellico Reservoir (WATeR) to thank for these wonderful, well-maintained, and very runnable trails.

A few years ago we decided to change things up a bit, and everybody loved it so we're keeping it this way. The 100K (for years the only 100K trail race in Tennessee) runs the entire length of the trail out and then back. The 50K will start at the northern end (where the 100K turns around) and run back to the finish line. And, there is a relay option: The 50K Relay, where you and a friend each run half of the 50K course.

We recently added the 'Sunset' option for the 50K: Now you can choose to start at 8:30am (the 'Sunrise' option), or at 2:30pm (the 'Sunset' option) so you can start later in the day and catch the gorgeous sunset over Tellico Lake.
