Mountain Goat Trail Race Set for April 16
The Mountain Goat Trail Race, sponsored by Mountain Outfitters, will return in-person on Saturday, April 16.
The day features the Seventh Annual Mountain Goat Trail Run & Walk, featuring a 5-mile run and a 2-mile walk, and the Third Annual Mountain Goat Trail Half Marathon. All proceeds will go to the Mountain Goat Trail Alliance (MGTA) #ShovelReadyMGT campaign, to prepare the entire Mountain Goat railbed for construction.
“After the last two years, we’re thrilled to be putting on this event live and in-person. We’re also really glad to be working once more with our longstanding sponsor, Mountain Outfitters,” said Patrick Dean, executive director of the MGTA.
The 5-mile run will begin at 10 a.m. in downtown Sewanee; the 2-mile walk will begin at 10 a.m. at La Bella Pearl’s Fine Dining. Both will finish at Mountain Outfitters in Monteagle. Prizes will be awarded for fastest men’s and women’s 5-mile finisher. Drawings for outdoor gear from Mountain Outfitters and presentation of awards are planned after the finish of the run & walk.
The half-marathon (13.1 miles) will begin at 8 a.m. in downtown Tracy City and follow the Mountain Goat Trail and approximately two miles of public roads before finishing at Mountain Outfitters. Drawings for outdoor gear from Mountain Outfitters and presentation of awards are planned after the finish.
