Rock/Creek StumpJump 50k Trail Race: 10th Anniversary Run, 2011

The 10th Annual Rock/Creek StumpJump 50k ended up being the fastest in history, with David Riddle blazing his way to a record 3:49:52. The race took place on Signal Mountain, Tennessee outside Chattanooga. As one of the largest 50k's in the country, this is a great first 50k as well as a test piece for those who want to challenge themselves on the varied, rocky and technical trails. The StumpJump course starts off at Signal Mountain Middle/High School, runs into Suck Creek Gorge and up onto the Prentice Cooper Wilderness Management area, loops around and back up the Gorge to end at the school. Runners face obstacles and landmarks such as the Rock Garden, the Indian Rock House, and Mushroom Rock.
