About the Freeze Your Half Off, An Awesomesauce Event
The course runs along a paved path beside the Tennessee River, passing behind a college campus and out toward a dam. The terrain is mostly flat with gentle rolls here and there. Because the route loops back through the start area several times, you can stash a bag there, peel off a layer mid-run, and grab food or drink whenever you pass through.
Packet pickup is race morning only, before the start. The aid station spread is genuinely generous: fruit, candy, chips, pickles, pickle juice, cookies, and the usual drink options. The restrooms on course are in heated buildings with running water, which the organizers mention with obvious pride, and honestly, for a cold-weather race, fair enough.
