Pistol

Founded in 2013, the Pistol runs 10 laps of a 10.35-mile lighted paved greenway along Pistol Creek in Alcoa, Tennessee — an urban ultra entirely on pavement with roughly 200 feet of gain per lap and approximately 2,000 feet total. Starting and finishing at the Alcoa Springbrook Pool Center, it sits less than 2 miles from Knoxville's airport. Crew access and pacer permissions from the start, plus a 32-hour cutoff, make it a logistics-friendly flat-course 100; the USATF-certified course draws a mix of first-timers chasing speed on the flat surface and veterans targeting personal records.
