Rabbit Creek to Hannah Mtn
The incredibly scenic, uphill Rabbit Creek Trail starts and ends with an ankle deep (or deeper depending on rain) water crossing. Creek rocks can be slippery! The trail is a winding journey straight up that connects to a variety of other trailheads (making this a great route for additional route variations to be added). The first junction will bring you to the peak point at the Hannah Mountain Trail. The trail is open year-round pending wildfire disruptions. This area of the Great Smoky National Park and Tallassee typically has limited or no cell service.

2025 was a stunningly busy year on the Appalachian Trail. There were many high profile FKT efforts and several DNFs in the final days. Three long-held records did fall however. Sarah Baker set the women’s self-supported northbound time in 74:04:42. Lyla Harrod set the women’s southbound time in 52:18:37.

Rhode Island - NE to SW (RI)
Woonsocket to Westerly is like tracing Rhode Island’s spine, from its gritty northern edge to its breezy southern shore. This route was selected to avoid highways making it a safe run on the mainland and is a non-trail route. This is a journey through mill towns, college cities, farmland, and coastal calm. In principle this is an open course route where you can design your preferred route but 102 is a good option for a long stretch. The endpoints are the St Pauls cemetery just across the MA border, and the tip of Watch Hill point by the lighthouse.
