Here are a few photos from the Last Annual Vol State facebook page for this year’s race. – “The Mississippi River was up about 20 feet and which submerged the first 1/4 mile of the course. We added an out and back to make up the unavailable portion.”
The start of the race is underwater. Hickman, KY.

Richard Westbrook is currently holding 29th place, out of 57 total unsupported runners. He is just passed Lexington, TN. The photos above show him running through Hickman, KY in the beginning of the race and then just before Union City, TN at the 20 mile mark. I have not heard from him today, but will keep the updates coming. Stay tuned…
