Walking Tall 50/25K - Pocahontas, Tennessee - Running

The Walking Tall 50/25K is a Running race in Pocahontas, Tennessee consisting of a 25K Trail Run and 50K Trail Run (Ultra).

Big Hill Pond's 50/25K will have something for everyone. The race will have 31 or 15.5 miles made up almost entirely of single track trail with only a little crushed gravel park road to help string out the competition. The race will feature a fire tower that you will have to climb, and a swamp boardwalk that is almost a half mile across. The history of the area comes from the local sheriff Buford Pusser, who is known for his virtual one-man war on moonshining, prostitution, gambling, and other vices along the Mississippi-Tennessee state line. The race will offer enough scenery and elevation for the most grizzled trail runner but should be doable for the first timer.
