The bg26.2 & half marathon complies with the recommendations of the RRCA since the bg26.2 & half marathon is an RRCA sanctioned event. The RRCA strongly recommends against the use of baby strollers/joggers by participants in road races if the child does not meet the age restriction outlined for the event. The bg26.2 & half marathon including the bg6000 will follow the RRCA guidelines and not permit strollers on the course. Since the bg26.2 is an open course, no roads are closed and parts of the course are limited to a bike lane, we feel that this could allow for a potential dangerous situation.
Things to keep in mind out on the course...
The bg26.2 is an open course with the exception of the coned lanes of UNIVERSITY BLVD, FAIRVIEW AVENUE, KENTUCKY STREET and ADAMS STREET. Please keep in mind that the side streets will be accessible and cars will be entering and exiting.
Running with Headphones? We suggest the bg26.2 "one-ear" policy: Leave your left ear free.
Please, no unauthorized cyclist. Due to insurance regulations and request from the BGPD, we cannot allow bicycles on the course unless they are official race crew bg26.2 cyclists. All official race crew bg26.2 cyclists will be wearing orange vests. Contact person for cyclist race crew is Randy Hansbrough.
Bibs MUST be visible at ALL times and placed on the front!
Important information about your bib:
Placement of your bib on the front is important for accurate timing. Spotters need to see your bib as you cross the finish line.
The photographers on the course will use your bib number to associate pictures with your name. If you want to receive the free download with your race day pictures, please attach your bib to the FRONT and it must be completely visible. They use "human taggers" and if they can't read your bib number, you won't get your free download!!
Awards for overall finishers are determined by gun times, chip times will be used to determine other award winners.
There will not be an awards ceremony. Look for the bg26.2 awards tent on the concourse area to claim your award. Bluegrass Timing will update the results board so check it to see if you are eligible for an award.

Runners have up to 24 hours to cover as many loops as they can on this .31-mile course (yep, just 3/10th of a mile) that follows the perimeter of the concourse inside the baseball park. Special activities will keep runners entertained through the night. Expect a fun party atmosphere that will help the time and the laps go by.
Runners are allowed to sleep, eat, leave, and come back, and even flat-out stop running whenever they want to. Due to the rules and structure of this type of run, it simply tests one thing: How far can you push yourself, and how far can you run?

An Adventure 20+ Years in the Making
An unconventional partner triathlon combining canoe, bike, and trail run — launching from the Duck River below the Maury County Jail and racing through Chickasaw Trace County Park.
Triathlon Format
Participants must compete with a partner of your choosing. If both partners want to do the full triathlon, then sign up as a TEAM: Partners should not stick together after the canoe portion; your finish times will be combined (added together) for finish results. Alternatively you may compete as a RELAY: Partners canoe together, then one person will continue on the bicycle while the running partner waits for the bicyclist to return. When the bicyclist finishes, he or she will tag the runner to begin the run course. Team and Relay partners will compete at the same time, but scoring results will be separate.TRANSITIONSAt the end of the canoe, strip off the company provided life jacket and leave it in the canoe. Carry your personally owned life jackets and paddles to transition to prevent mix-ups with the canoe companies. Those who will be biking will run about 100 yards from the boat ramp to transition. Bikes will be laid on their side in a grass transition area. Bicyclists will return to the same area to tag their relay partner or begin the run.
Race Day Schedule
Check in at the Hanson Shelter at Chickasaw Trace Park, 1419 New Hwy 7, Columbia from 6:30 to 8:00 and then proceed with your vehicle to the river parking area at the end of the road. Put your bicycle in the transition box and then familiarize yourself with the flow from the river (takeout) to the transition box, and then the exit. We will begin shuttling participants at 8:30 from the transition box area. It takes multiple trips over 30 minutes to transport everyone. The start will begin between 9:15 and 9:30. There will be two heats with 7 minutes between starts. The timing system will adjust for the 7 minutes.
3.5 Miles on the Duck River
The canoe start will be near the Maury County Jail. The person in the back of the canoe hangs on to a rope that is strung across the river. Expect the canoe trip to take 40+ minutes. Participants will need to wear shoes, water shoes, or mountain bike shoes and expect them to get wet. Life jackets must be worn; the rental companies will provide them but personally owned jackets are allowed.Canoes Provided – No Personal Canoes AllowedTwo-person canoes from neighboring rental businesses are being provided as part of the entry fee. Paddles and life jackets are included. No personally owned canoes will be allowed for this event. Personally owned single-blade paddles and life jackets are allowed. Participants will need to carry the canoe (80 lbs.), along with their partner, down a hill to the river. Canoes and paddles will not all be identical. In fact, some canoes may be aluminum and others fiberglass or composite. Entrants must accept these differences as a condition of registering.View Canoe Map
7.5 Mile Mountain Bike on Single Track
The bike course will be one loop of the Chickasaw Trace Park trails minus some of the more difficult sections. Reclamation of the landfill currently in place may shorten the course to 7.5-miles. It is almost all single-track trails in woods. There are plenty of technical (difficult and challenging) sections that remain. After two miles the course takes on several tough climbs. Participants must gain mountain bike experience on trails before racing. Beginners are welcome, but first-timers on trails may be pulled from the race. Passing is generally accomplished by the approaching rider announcing, “I need to get by when you can!” and the lead rider conceding and moving to one side as soon as room allows. Please don’t pull off and stop just to let someone pass.Helmets must be worn.View Bike Map
2.65 Mile Trail Run
The run section is on the flattest and easiest portion of the mountain bike trail for the most part. However, there are some terrain challenges and two hills. We do not expect bikes to be on the same trail portion at the same time as runners except for extremely slow canoeists, or as a backup plan if a trailer of canoes does not show. If this occurs we will instruct bicyclists to announce their approach and pass carefully on the left. Relay Runners: Expect to wait 40+ minutes for your partner to return from biking. You may get wet on the canoe trip, and so be prepared to stay warm with a towel or blanket or a change of clothes. Added in 2022 is an addition to the run course called the “Death Ditch.” In the event of rain or mud, runners will run next to the Death Ditch instead of running in the crevice.View Run MapFor more details, please visit our website

Included in your entry fee is 4 dinners, 5 nights of lodging, fuel and nutrition and a camp shirt.
This camp is designed for athletes looking to both boost their run fitness over the winter and spend quality time with other athletes in an amazing atmosphere. This 5 day run camp will include 6-8 total runs of varying length, duration and intensity. The duration and mileage of each run will be based on the athletes specific abilities and goals and placed in a specific run group. The #1 rule is NO ONE RUNS ALONE. If you have attended any of our triathlon or swim camps you know that we start together and end together. Runs will be on both trail and gravel road so please bring the appropriate footwear. Like all of our other camps this camp is for EVERY ability.
Our training sessions will be based on TIME. So no matter how slow or fast you are, we will all be finishing at the same time. Activities may include (but not limited to) hill repeats, capture the flag relays, mapped out course runs, hiking expeditions, cold plunges at the end of the day to heal those sore muscles...and more! We will have 2-3 sessions per day, with time in between to hang out in the lodge with our C26 teammates!
Training can be a lonely endeavor especially in the winter months when it's colder and the sunlight hours are at a minimum. This is a great opportunity to keep you motivated and excited to train through those tough winter months. You will leave this camp in better run shape than ever and go home with either new friendships or having become even better friends with your fellow team members. This venue also serves as a great place to just get away and disconnect from the stress of every day life. A true Runcation. The backdrop of the Five Star Retreat will be perfect for the scheduled downtime and enjoying the incredible scenery in both fall and winter months.
You DO NOT need to be some seasoned trail veteran!! One of the wonderful things about this location is the variety of terrain we have to choose from. We will have gravel, roads and dirt trail. These trails are only as technical as you want them to be. They are normally used for hiking and ATV’s to get around the 450 acres of land they have there. The terrain has options of rolling hills, long gradual inclines as well as very steep inclines.
Prepare to have fun and really enjoy yourself. We will be running in an incredible place, but you will also have plenty of down time to hang out with new and old friends! Come prepared to soak it in. Here is a list of the activities they have onsite. http://www.fivestarretreat.com/activities.php
One of the best things about this being an “athlete only” camp is that not only will I adjust your training to make sure you are prepared for run camp. I will also be aware of your current fitness, goals, strengths and limitations. I will use this info to control the duration of your runs, walks, hikes while also pairing you with a partner of group to do your session with based on those abilities. You will not be alone and you will not be asked to do something you are not prepared to do.
