This is a segment of the Cumberland Trail consisting of the Rock Creek, Possum Creek, and Soddy Creek Gorge's sections as well as the northern end connector trail from the Lower Leggett Rd trail head.

The Cumberland Trail Three Gorges Double consists of an out and back from Lower Leggett Rd trail head to this sections terminus at Mowbray Pike trail head and then a return to Lower Leggett Rd trail head.  68 miles 

To my knowledge this has never been done, so this would be a first set time. 


I plan to attempt on Sat October 22nd.

-------------

I started at 5:40am and finished at 9:40pm

On Saturday October 22nd I will attempt to do a out and back double route of the Cumberland Trail 3 gorges segment starting at Lower Leggett rd parking lot, out to the terminus of the section at Mowbray pike and then a return to Lower Leggett rd. 68 miles in total.
I am doing this to establish a fastest known time (FKT) and to my knowledge only time time on this route in a singular push. In the spirit of the FKT I am publicly announcing my attempt.

Since I will be the first, to my knowledge to do this, I get to set the "rules". I will be 100% self sufficient, with the inclusion of water/food purchase at the store on HWY 111. So this will be a self supported attempt.
