There will be NO SWEEPER and you may not have someone with you all the time during the hike, but it’s nearly impossible to get lost once you’ve completed the route over the mountain the first time. If you’re not sure you can make the 12.25 miles, but want to try it - this is an OK event as long as you understand the following: If you don’t cover the whole 12.25 in 5.5 hours, you’ll be removed from the event - BUT THERE IS NO SHAME IN TRYING - so don’t let this stop you. Please check in with the trip leaders when you’re done. There are water fountains available at the visitor’s center and at Burnt Hickory Rd.
