Background: In 2008, KTC formed a Trails Committee and charged the group with presenting a comprehensive schedule of off road events to attract larger crowds and bring trail running to the forefront of running consciousness, and since then the series has expanded to more than a dozen races annually at not only city and county parks, but state parks throughout East Tennessee.
The 2014 season is dedicated to Trail Committee member Kerry Trammell who passed away on January 10, 2013.
