The Tranquility Lake Trail Race is the first race of the Southeastern Trail Series. The race starts at the Redbud Pavilion at Oak Mountain State Park. Redbud it on Tranquility Road, adjacent to the BMX track. Follow the arrow banners directing you to the start. The race will start at 8:00 AM. This is the perfect first trail race for the beginner runner or the veteran road races. The course is a 3 mile loop with only 450 feet of elevation gain per lap. The 6 mile race is two laps of the 3 mile course. The trails are relatively gently by Oak Mountain standards. I do recommend trail shoes for the race.
There is a $5 per person fee to enter the park. They do not accept credit cards!

Runners will start in front of the Redbud Pavilion and run a short 0.4 mile loop around the Tranquility Rd, circling the BMX Track. This will give runners a chance so spread out before entering the single track trails they will be on for the next 2 miles. The course will follow the Yellow trail back to Maggie’s Glen. After crossing the creek, go left onto the White Trail for a few hundred yards. At the trail split, White heads off to the right, you continue straight ahead on the Cabin Trail. After the Meeting Center at the Cabins, this is the start/finish for Blood Rock, runners will cross the road and immediately go right up the hill. Follow a steep trail up a short hill and then across the ridge for about 2/3 mile. The trail then drops down a steep hill and comes out near the BMX track. Go left 50 yards and back right, past a gate and return to the Redbud Pavilion. Run under the arch. This is the finish for 3 milers. Six mile runners, stop at the aid station if you need anything, then go left to repeat the lap. After the aid station, head straight into the woods. (do not make another loop around Tranquility Rd)
