Rock/Creek River Gorge Trail Race

These are single track trails with varied terrain. Lots of hills, rocks, and the occasional mild stream crossing. Every participant receives a Marmot Wicked Tech Tee.
So who should run these races?
All Runners! This race is meant to be fun and expose those of us who don't normally run on trails to the beautiful wilderness areas surrounding Chattanooga. Do not feel intimidated if you have never run on dirt trails before. It is not uncommon to walk many sections of a trail run. Remember that trail running is strenuous. Practice before you participate; it makes the race more fun.

The race starts and finishes in the Cumberland Trail parking lot, located at Prentice Cooper Wilderness Management Area. The trail footing varies considerably and in some sections are rocky and narrow.

I have never been to this area. Can anyone give me directions to trailheads and such. I'd like to run some of the trails before the race. If you're going any time soon and wouldn't mind and old slow man tagging along let me know.

The Mullens Cove Loop in my opinion is the best 10 mile loop in the area. It's also a great segway into doing the Stump Jump 50k, because you get to see what mile 10-20 of the Stump Jump is all about.
