It’s Just A Mile.
The Mid-state Mile will take place on what we have deemed The Murder Mile. The course is housed on private land just 20 minutes from Downtown Franklin. Within 1 mile and 340 feet of elevation gain per loop you’ll encounter two climbs with fast runnable sections between them an an easy downhill section through the field to the start/finish area. The course itself is an old logging road so it’s nice wide double track.
This will be a Last Runner Standing event. Runners will be given 20 minutes to complete the loop and must be back in the starting corral ready to start the next loop. More on all details to come but for now all you need to know is that you have to be able to do 3 miles an hour. Sounds simple,right? It is—because it’s only a mile.
We will have a tented area for runners to have a chair and small cooler next to the starting corral. There will be a separate area for crew and camping.
If you are a Race Director please contact the race before registering. We have a special deal for you to show our gratitude.

Declaring a Winner
1. If two runners start the last loop and one does not complete it within the time limit, then the one who completed it is declared the winner ONLY AFTER he starts and completes the next loop a solo loop “VICTORY LAP” within the 20-minute time frame.
2. If two runners complete the loop, but only one chooses to continue, then the last runner must go out and complete a VICTORY LAP within the time limit in order to be declared the winner.
3. If the last runner cannot complete the loop in the time limit then there will be no winner
Please Do and Strongly Encouraged
Please bring your family ,friends ,and a can-do attitude and smiles. We will be encouraging spectators to venture on the course . We want you to feel loved and supported every step of the way . We also want to provide some entertainment for those people with enough sense to not signup and what better way than watching you suffer.
No Pets
VERY SERIOUS AND POSSIBLY THE NUMBER ONE RULE.
We love our furry friends as much as you do but there are other pets that call this home and they aren’t looking to share. If you bring your furry friend you will be asked to take them back to their home. Please don’t make us do that. DO NOT BE THAT PERSON. Runners inform your friends, family and crew of this rule. It is nonnegotiable.
