About the Event

Test your mettle on the rugged, steep trails of the Cheatham Wildlife Management Area at the challenging Music City Trail Ultra on March 7, 2026. This Nashville-area classic offers a 50K, 25K, or 12K adventure that starts on a family farm in Pegram and plunges into 20,000 acres of wild Tennessee terrain, featuring a demanding mix of technical single-track and punishing jeep roads. The event is renowned for its difficulty, with honest warnings and a strict 9-hour cutoff ensuring only prepared runners take on the 50K's relentless climbs and stunning ridge-line views. With aid stations roughly every 5-6 miles and a no-nonsense attitude, the race focuses on delivering a pure, hard-won trail experience for those seeking a true early-season test.

More than just a grueling course, the event fosters a strong sense of local community, culminating in a finish-line celebration with pizza and a well-earned pint from Jackalope Brewery. Every finisher receives a unique cup to commemorate their accomplishment, and podium spots are awarded in each distance, but the real reward is the shared respect among those who conquer the demanding route. This is the perfect race for runners who value grit over glamour, offering an authentic, no-frills ultramarathon experience just outside Music City. Lace up for a humble but epic battle against some of Middle Tennessee's toughest and most beautiful trails.
