  Distance: 25 km from Elizabethton

  Welcome to the Johnny Fresh Legs Steele Creek Struggle, an epic backwoods adventure in the heart of Steele Creek Park, one of Tennessee’s most scenic and untamed trail systems. This is not your typical half marathon—it’s a gritty, wild, and rewarding test of endurance for trail runners who thrive on technical terrain and real mountain grit. Also sponsored by Mountain Sports Limited, Bristol, VA , Petro Chili & Chips, Beat Street Bites (beatstreetbites.com) & Dr. Michael Smith Chiropractic, Bristol, TN.

  Course Overview

  Distance: 13.1 miles

  Elevation Gain: Over 2,000 feet

  Terrain: Technical single track with roots, rocks, steep climbs, creek crossings, and fast descents

  Location: Steele Creek Park – Bristol, TN

  This course is designed for trail runners who live for the challenge. Expect to tackle steep ridge lines, narrow switchbacks, creek crossings, and rocky forest paths that wind through thick Appalachian woodlands. Every mile delivers a new test—and a new reason to love trail running.

  Wild & Untamed

  Keep your eyes open—you might catch a glimpse of white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and other wildlife along the course. Maybe even a bear. (Don’t worry—they’re not racing.)

  ⚠️

  Race Warning

  This is not a beginner-friendly race. It’s raw. It’s technical. It’s unpredictable. And it’s unforgettable. Perfect for runners looking to push their limits and earn serious trail cred.

  🏁 Ready to Run Wild?

  If you’re up for the challenge, sign up and get ready to experience trail racing the way it was meant to be—muddy, steep, and gloriously tough.

  All race proceeds donated to Steele Creek Park for trail improvements.

  Awards will be awarded to the top three male and female finishers.

  The Struggle is Real, Rough, Rocky & Rooty!
