Run a full or half marathon through the rolling single track trails of historical Cherokee and Seneca Parks.

The Backside Trail Marathon is a TRAIL run and is much harder than your typical marathon. Be prepared for adventure and fun! The trails are high-quality single-track, described as gently rolling, but this is subjective. If you have never run trails before, these are a great intro into trail running, but don’t expect to match your road time. Expect 130% of your normal road time or more. Trail running footwear is recommended.

The Backside offers a rare opportunity to participate in a Double Down by knocking out two marathons or half marathons in one weekend. Run in the Derby Marathon, the Nashville Marathon, or any other marathon on Saturday before the Backside on Sunday.
