A Race for the Ages

Get ready to lace up and join the legends at Fred Deadman Park in Manchester, Tennessee, for the most unforgettable ultramarathon event of the year! As we gear up for Labor Day Weekend 2024, we're issuing a call to action for runners young and old to pound the pavement of the celebrated Deadman Mile. Veterans of the sport, 41 and older, can use their age in hours to tally up miles and show the youngsters how it's done over the final 40 hours. Prepare to be enthralled not just by the sheer endurance but by the heartwarming stories and camaraderie that make this event more than just a race – it's a celebration of life! With southern hospitality at its finest, including fine cuisine from Cracker Barrel and indoor bathrooms (a runner's dream!), ARFTA is the ultimate endurance challenge mixed with a family reunion vibe you simply can't miss.
