The Haw Ridge 7 miler (really 8+) is Knoxville Track Club’s July trail race in their annual series. The series is a terrific idea and Haw Ridge is an excellent run.
Located at Haw Ridge Rec area near Oak Ridge. The production is great as usual, packet picket on race morning a breeze, parking volunteers to make parking easy.
The course is pretty much all single track, with 1,168 ft ascent on my watch. It was 70 at the 8:00 start and got warmer as the morning went on. Most of the course is in shade. I was slow due to the heat and roots and rocks on the trail, I love running in thin sandals but I would need a lot more trail miles to run fast on trails in them.
I had a fun time, running thru the forest for a couple hours with KTC type support is a great way to start a Saturday.
