I.C. KING OF TRAILS RACE

DATE TIME PLACE: Saturday, April 9, 2016. 9:00 am. KIDS TRAIL RACE 8:30 am. Starts/finishes at I.C. King Park on Alcoa Highway in Knoxville.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This roughly 7-8 mile course starts and finishes in the south (formerly gated) parking lot of I.C. King Park. Numerous rolling hills will be encountered, along with stretches of more rhythmic singletrack along the lakeside. Water will be provided just past halfway. Course closes 11:00 am.

DIRECTIONS: Located off Alcoa Highway (US 129) south of Knoxville between John Sevier Highway and Maloney Road, this 190-acre county park lies on the shores of the Tennessee River. Latitude: 35.893308, Longitude: -83.950887 . Race staging area is accessed through the south entrance to the Park that in the past has been gated shut; the road will be open for this event.

REGISTRATION AND FEES: Fee: $15.00 for pre-registration and online registration. $10.00 for students 14 and younger. Three KTC volunteer coupons will waive fee. Online registration available at www.ktc.org. NOTE: Day of Race registration $20.00 or four volunteer coupons. Kids Run $5.00 anytime.

T-SHIRTS: Special limited edition T-shirts will be printed for the series. This is the same shirt as at all other Treadin’ Trodden Trails races; one shirt per runner PER SEASON please. Taking multiple shirts minimizes monies we are able to donate to trail friendly causes.

RACE NUMBER PICKUP: Numbers will not be mailed. Pick up number at race site 30-90 minutes before the start.

AWARDS AND REWARDS: Awards will vary from race to race, but each race offers the eminent satisfaction of completing a challenging run, testing oneself against the elements and participating in a delightful romp among the woods, waters, hillsides, and fields of East Tennessee.

SPECIAL SERIES AWARDS: Points will be awarded for overall finish (and volunteerism) at each of the TTT Series races. Top point earners at the end of the series (10 each male / female and < 40 / 40+) will receive TTT Series awards. Overall top male and female and top male and female masters qualify for free entry to the entire 2017 Treadin' Trodden Trails racing season. In order to qualify for a series award, an individual must be a current KTC member and volunteer at a minimum of two Treadin’ Trodden Trails events. Point totals accrue in a maximum of eight series events.

RESULTS: Results will be available on the Knoxville Track Club website: www.ktc.org

COURSE ETIQUETTE: We reserve the right to disqualify anyone who exhibits unsportsmanlike conduct or is abusive to volunteers. Due to insurance regulations, no headsets, earphones, bicycles, baby strollers, roller blades or pets on the course.

SAFETY: Aid and water stations will be provided, but in an effort to be greener, we require all runners to carry their own water. If you don't own a handheld, consider purchasing one. Otherwise a basic water bottle will be provided. We also strongly recommend that anyone sensitive to insect stings or bites carry their own medication. Finally, we urge that everyone do some pre-race training offroad, as there is no substitute for experience. We want you to have a good time.

PARKING: Due to limited parking, participants are strongly encouraged to carpool. The road in and out is narrow with traffic jams almost unavoidable. Parking also available at main I.C. King parking lot north of the inlet by the railroad tracks.
