About

The Pistol is an ultramarathon weekend in Alcoa, Tennessee, on March 13–14, 2027, with a scenic course along Pistol Creek. Saturday carries the long formats: the 100-miler and the 100K (62.2 miles) at 8:00 AM, a 50K (31 miles) at 7:55 AM, and a 50-mile night race at 8:00 PM. Sunday adds a 20-miler and a 10-miler, both at 8:00 AM.

Aid stations are well stocked and staffed by attentive volunteers, and the event is deliberately inclusive, welcoming athletes using wheelchairs or walkers, with extra activities for families around the race. Newcomers to ultras have a real entry point here through the shorter Sunday distances, while a 100-mile or 100K attempt asks for months of back-to-back long runs, a rehearsed nutrition plan and a crew who knows the schedule.
