The 10th Annual Virginia Creeper Trail Marathon, hosted by the State of Franklin Track Club (Johnson City, TN) will be held this Sunday. Unfortunately, if you're thinking of joining in, you're too late to register as they limit the event to 100 runners. However, you can still turn out as a spectator to cheer on the participants. I know they'd really appreciate it. I enjoy being out there watching almost as much as running. The race begins at the Watauga trailhead at 8:00AM. The first couple of miles are on Watauga Road but then it's completely on the Creeper Trail in two out-and-back sections. You can hang out at the Watauga trailhead and see the runners as they pass by at miles 2, 9, 18, and 25 of the course.
