The Shelter features 13 units with 68 beds for families experiencing homelessness. The Shelter provides a stable environment for families to remain together as they search for permanent housing solutions.

Upchuck 50K
2017-11-11 08:00 - 17:00 | Cumberland Trail, 190 Depot Street, Soddy Daisy, TN, 37379, United States
Wild Trails presents the 10th official UPCHUCK 50K. This minimally supported event consists of a point-to-point trail that runs entirely on the technically challenging single track of the Cumberland Trail. This course has huge climbs and huge descents into Soddy Creek, Possum Creek and Rock Creek. It will, without a doubt, go down in the race log as one of the best 50k courses you will ever do.
Please do not attempt this run as your first 50K. This is a serious endeavor and will quite possibly be your slowest 50k to date. Let us reiterate: this is seriously difficult and not for beginner ultra runners. You must have completed a 50K within the last 18 months in under 7 hours.
