About the race
The last annual Third Circle of Hell is a challenging course over mainly back roads. There are numerous turns, requiring adeptness at route finding, long stretches through remote reaches of the State of Tennessee without available services, requiring the ability to pack adequate supplies, and 23 major climbs, requiring exceptional tolerance of discomfort. The reward is an unforgettable tour of some of Tennessee’s least known scenic areas. There are three major Geographical features that will be thoroughly explored: The long Pressure Ridges of upper East Tennessee, thrust up by the Smoky Mountain Orogeny, the Crab Orchard Mountains, and the Cumberland Plateau/Sequatchie Valley combo.This is the third jewel in the triple crown of last annual Tennessee Journey Runs. If you survive this trilogy, you will truly be ready for anything.
