About the Fall Creek Falls Trail 50K
The Fall Creek Falls 50K is run on the Saturday of race weekend in Fall Creek Falls State Park near Spencer, Tennessee. It covers two laps of the park's Upper Loop Trail, starting and finishing at the pavilion by the Betty Dunn Nature Center. On the second lap the course runs out to the trail exit at Highway 284 and Fire Tower Road, turns back to the previous trailhead, and returns to the finish. The shaded trail crosses creeks and a suspension bridge in a park known for the highest free-falling waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains.
