Course History Initiated by Friends of Davy Crockett Birthplace in 2007. Course designed by Bob Townsend, Limestone. At the start of the inaugural race on December 15, 2007, Mountain Men in buckskin fired two muzzle loaders across the starting line. In the inaugural race, the lead runners were blocked by a passing train. Therefore, a new course was designed with no railroad crossings. The course was shortened to 5 miles and contains two out and back sections, where you get to adjust your strategy for the winning kick.
