⚡ TWO EPIC RACES 🇺🇲
The countdown is ON! East Coast Adventures is bringing the heat this year with two more high-octane events designed for those who live for the long haul and the post-race party. Whether you’re chasing a PR under the Sunsphere or celebrating freedom with a July 4th tradition, these miles are built for speed and pure celebration.

But listen up: We keep it exclusive. These aren't just races; they're milestones, and spots are disappearing fast.

🏙️ World’s Fair Ultras | April 18th | Knoxville, TN
Presented by:
Get ready to burn up the greenway in the heart of Knoxville! We’re bringing the party to the park with an urban ultra experience that’s as fast as it is historic. Imagine flying past the Sunsphere with a community of runners pushing you toward that finish line festival. It’s high energy, high speed, USATF event, and strictly limited to the first 150 athletes. * The Vibe: Neon lights, city heights, and fast miles.

🇺🇸 17.76 ‘Merica | July 4th | Madisonville, TN
Partnered with: & City of Madisonville.
This is how we celebrate! Kick off your Independence Day with the most patriotic miles in the East. This is our annual "MERICA Run," and we’re pulling out all the stops. Expect red, white, and blue everything, a finish line that feels like a backyard bash, and a community that runs as one. We keep this one tight-knit and legendary, with only 100 spots available.

The Vibe: Pure ‘Merica. Flags, freedom, and fast miles.

🚨 LOCK IT IN BEFORE THEY’RE GONE!
We don’t do waitlists. We do epic experiences. Once these bibs are sold out, you’re on the sidelines. Don’t be the one watching the highlight reel—be the one in it.
