LONG HUNTER TRAIL RUNS
This race series is all within Long Hunter State Park, a few miles outside the Nashville city limits. All race distances circumnavigate Couchville Lake, go out and back on the Bryant Grove trail and do the cliff trail loop. The half marathon also does the Inland Trail while the Marathon and 50k courses go out to do different lengths of the Jones Mill trail. We start and finish in a beautiful, wide-open field that often has deer and turkeys strolling through. A Long Hunter was a hunter/explorer out of the east coast who would spend a few months going West, typically Kentucky and Tennessee, before returning back home. Daniel Boone would be the most famous example. The arrowhead finisher awards are to also acknowledge who lived here when the Long Hunters were first arriving. Long Hunter State Park actually hosts the TN NAIA annual pow wow that brings in 10,000+ attendees. On a side note, this is our home trail! Emily and I (Scott) live four miles from the park and go here all the time. We’re really happy we get to showcase this area to people. It’s beautiful and makes for a pretty fast, flat race.
Course
The course is a mix of trail and paved trail/asphalt. The 2-mile trail that goes around Couchville Lake is a paved, greenway type trail. The only other non-dirt areas are the roads connecting the other trails together. You could be fine with road shoes if it doesn’t rain right before the race.

The Capt. Jeff Kuss USMC Memorial hosts the annual Top Gun Night Run 6k on Friday, September 11 at 7:30 p.m. in Lee Victory Recreation Park in Smyrna.

On June 2, 2016, our nation was deeply impacted by the plane crash of USMC Captain Jeff Kuss during the US Navy Blue Angels performance at the Great Tennessee Air Show, in Smyrna. Following this tragedy, the Smyrna community and Blue Angels fans around the country mourned and showed an outpouring of support for the Kuss Family. Town of Smyrna officials called upon the community to help establish a living memorial in tribute to the life, honorable service, and high ideals exhibited by Captain Kuss. The illuminated memorial is located in Smyrna’s Lee Victory Park along the beautiful greenway across from the Smyrna/Rutherford County Airport. As centerpiece to the memorial, the National Naval Aviation Museum has generously provided, on permanent loan to the Town of Smyrna, recently retired Blue Angel F/A-18 Hornet aircraft, BUNO 163498, which depicts Captain Kuss’ plane number 6.
Proceeds from the annual Top Gun Night Run 6k are applied directly to ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the Captain Jeff Kuss USMC Memorial in addition to funding the Memorial Scholarship created in 2023.
