The Rim Runner Trail Races, taking place on April 12, 2025, in Sewanee, Tennessee, offer a range of distances—marathon, half marathon, 50-mile, and 100-mile ultramarathons. The event showcases Franklin State Forest's West Rim and West Side trails, providing a loop that runs along the rim overlooking the coves on either side. The 6 a.m. start time is designed to position runners on the east side of the course for sunrise and, for those in the 50 and 100-mile events, on the west side for sunset. The courses are mostly runnable, with typical rocks and roots, and include steep but short climbs. Runners will encounter creeks, small bridges, and even a waterfall/swimming hole along the route. Proceeds from the race will be donated to the forest to aid recovery from past vandalism affecting its machinery and equipment. Additionally, Rabbit apparel will be available for participants.
