Who doesn’t need a respite from screens?Ī post shared by Kara Molitor on at 9:04am PDT Be advised: The overnight stay will be a rustic experience-there’s no electricity at the lodge. Runners who are interested in improving their technical skills but aren’t racing are also invited to camp.

Because the inclines are harsh and the terrain is technical, the two-day camp is meant to acquaint runners with the course via short 22-mile runs through towering rock arches and alongside rolling streams. With a shocking 11,200 feet of climbing, the race starts in Kentucky and crosses the border into Tennessee on rough trails.

The No Business 100 Training Camp is designed for runners who have their sights set on conquering the No Business 100, a teeth-gritting ultra in Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. No Business 100 Training CampĬost: $80-$90 for cabins, $10 for tent cabins These six trail camps are the most fun, helpful, and best in the region-and with them, you can up your running game faster than a moonshiner can hide his still. Whether you want to log miles on the beach or through rolling blue mountains and rhododendron-chocked hollows, trail runners looking to up their technique or mileage will find no shortage of dirt to run in the South.

Its varied terrain offers… essentially everything but altitude. The South is an untapped haven for trail runners. Add to your distance, up your technique, and explore some of the most underrated trails in the country
