There is not a time limit on your loop. Log as many or as few loops as you like. Training Plans Available & Gear Rental Training plans are available for purchase by our Mother of The Murder Mile BMFJ herself.We also offer camping gear and tent rentals

for you convenience.Please send us an email or reachout at www.bmfjevents.com Aid & Crew Runners can accept crew and aid anywhere on this course. Runners are required to bring their own setup for this event. The large tents will not be available like at Mid-State. We may put up a couple but plan on relying on you and your friends to create your setup. Camping is allowed in the big field. Camping tents (requiring strings and stakes) are not permitted in the start/finish area. Crews are allowed to provide their own pop-up canopy-style tent to use for their runner at the start/finish. Crews can set up anywhere within this crew area and provide aid to their runner.All runners MUST provide their own aid. We will have water and electrolytes, but all nutrition must be provided by individuals.Pacing & Company There’s a difference between pacing & company. If you want to have some company with your friend, wife, husband, or whoever joins you, that's okay for most divisions but they cannot “pace”

you. They can WALK with you. What I’m saying is if your loved ones want to do a lap or two with you they can but they can’t be out there mile after mile or swapping in and out. Do not take advantage of this. Do not be that guy. You will be disqualified. If you are looking to be competitive keep this in mind because if someone sees, hears, or reports that you’re receiving pacing before it’s allowed you’ll be ineligible for placing. Again Company is a friend or loved one joining you at a leisurely pace or checking out the course with you for a couple of laps NOT THE ENTIRE TIME again think walking. PLEASE BE REASONABLE. YOU KNOW WHAT'S FAIR AND WHAT'S NOT. Use common sense. You shouldn’t have company for most of your race and nobody should be “getting their miles” with you during your race until after pacing is allowed. What we love about this setup is how it can be shared with your loved ones and we want you to be able to show them what you’re doing and not have to police this policy. If we

think you’re taking advantage of this you will be called out and we do NOT want to do that.40 Hour - Company & Pacing Anytime! Y’all get to do whatever you want. You signed up for 40 hours of this punishment. You’re special! 24 Hour - Company Anytime - Pacing after 10 pm. Y’all are awesome and only kinda get to do why you want. 12 Hour - SORRY NO PACING FOR YOU but if your mother-in-law twice removed shows up and wants to do a lap with you it’s fine. 6 Hour - SORRY NO PACING FOR YOU but if your grandma shows up with her walker and wants to do a lap with you that’s fine. You just can’t use the walker. 3 Hour - No Pacers8 Hour - You are the company and pacers. Breathe life and fire into that course. Protect the walking dead. House Rules VERY IMPORTANT: Absolutely no pets. There are already pets that call this place home, and while we love our furry friends we do not want to disturb and upset the current residents. If you bring a furry sidekick, you will be asked to take them back to their

home. Additionally, runners are not permitted in the house or on the porch. Finally, you will notice there are hunting stands on the property. For safety reasons, those are off limits as well.Please bring your family, friends, a can-do attitude, and smiles. The Toughest Little Mile in Tennessee The Tennessee Mile will take place on the hallowed ground known as The Murder Mile, home to the instant classic, the Mid-State Mile. The race will feature a variety of timed divisions. Unlike MSM, you are not limited by timed loops. Instead, your task is to complete as many loops as you can (or want to) within the allotted total time.The course is housed on private land just 20 minutes from downtown Franklin, TN. It boasts a 1.1 mile loop with 340 feet of elevation gain. You’ll encounter two monster climbs with fast, runnable sections between them and a downhill section through the field to the start/finish area. The course itself is an old logging road so it features a nice, wide double track trail.

Rest assured, we’ll clean up the course real good before race day. We like pretty things. Refund Policy Important note: There will be absolutely no refunds or deferrals given.

Haunted Half & Sinister Six For years, we’ve talked about putting together a haunted night run—something weird, wild, and absolutely drenched in Halloween spirit—and this year, we finally said: let’s make it happen.Get ready for a fright-filled night of running as we transform our 1.1-mile loop into a haunted trail of screams and things that definitely weren’t there before. We’re decking out the mile in all things spooky and scary—creepy sounds, eerie lights, and maybe some unexpected visitors—so you can enjoy a night of Halloween mayhem, trail-style. Costumes are encouraged and possibly required.... Sanity is optional.Trick-or-treat stations await you each lap. Yes, actual candy. And yes, some of the treats bite back.The “Treat” side? Candy and who knows what else.The “Trick” side? A twist for your next lap. Maybe you’ll have to zombie-shuffle a lap. Maybe you’ll carry a pumpkin. Maybe you’ll scream every time you pass a tree. We’re not telling you what’s in the bag—but i

t’s cursed, and it’s happening.For Trick you’ll draw from our Bag of Tricks each time around, and whatever you get, you do. This is not a PR kind of race. This is a “laugh-while-you-suffer” kind of fun run.Coyotes have been seen in the area. So has a guy named Randy. Don’t worry. They’re both mostly harmless if you don’t look like a snack. Come run, scream, and repeat. We’ll see you at the starting line—assuming you make it there. Weather & Rescheduling THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!!!!If we are forecasted for storms and dangerous weather we will be bump it up to Friday night if need be. Keep in mind that is the last thing we want to do but just so we have already addressed the possibility. Because let's be honest weather has been nuts this year. We do not offer refunds so please be aware before signing up. Everything from this event will go into making it possible. The Course The Murder Mile. The course is housed on private land just 20 minutes from Downtown Franklin . Within 1 mile and 340 feet o

f 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.The climbs are straight up with no switchbacks and steep grades. NO PETS ALLOWED VERY IMPORTANT: Absolutely no pets. There are already pets that call this place home, and while we love our furry friends we do not want to disturb and upset the current residents. If you bring a furry sidekick, you will be asked to take them back to their home. THIS IS FIRM SO PLEASE DO NOT THINK WE BEND ON THIS AT ALL. Awards Keep in mind this is meant to be FUN but we will award top 3 in both categories for male and female.We will track loops using our foolproof clothes-pin system.Keep in mind these "tricks" could make your loop harder so don't get too heartbroken over it. You cannot pick treat each loop so do not plan on it. Everyone will be getting tricked. REFUND POLICY

Layout The Natchez Trace Trail Run is an excellent introduction to trail racing and a strong choice for runners tackling their first trail marathon or first 50-mile race.The course rewards smart pacing, steady effort, and attention to fueling. Long stretches of uninterrupted trail allow runners to settle in and focus on execution, while the cumulative elevation and rugged sections ensure the distance is fully earned.For experienced runners, the course offers an opportunity to run consistently and efficiently. For first-time ultra athletes, it provides a setting that allows you to learn the rhythms of longer trail racing without overwhelming complexity.This race also typically sells out, often well before race weekend. If this event is on your calendar, early registration is strongly recommended.Distances & Start Times50-MilerOut-and-backStart: 6:00 AM CSTMarathonOne-way (bus transport provided)Bus departs: 7:00 AM CST13-Mile Run One-way (bus transport provided)Bus departs: 9:00 AM CSTRuck
