5th Annual Lakeside Ten Mile 5K Fun Run

Lace up your running shoes for the 5th Annual Lakeside Ten Mile 5K Fun Run, taking place on Saturday, September 5, 2026, in the charming community of Ten Mile, Tennessee. This popular 3.1-mile event offers a scenic and enjoyable experience for participants of all levels, from competitive runners to casual walkers and families. You'll traverse a pleasant course featuring gentle hills and picturesque lake views, primarily on pavement with a short section of light gravel as you approach the finish.

The race kicks off at 9:00 AM, beginning in the Ten Mile town area and winding its way to the Euchee Marina. Professionally timed by the Knoxville Track Club, this event is ideal for those looking to achieve a qualifying time for future races, while also welcoming baby joggers and well-behaved leashed dogs to join the fun after the main start. Typical race day conditions in early September include highs around 87°F and lows around 63°F, with a low chance of precipitation, providing a warm but generally pleasant atmosphere for your lakeside run.

Beyond the beautiful course, the Lakeside Ten Mile 5K is a community-focused event that proudly benefits the Meigs County Volunteer Fire Department. All proceeds from the race contribute to this essential local service, making your participation even more meaningful. Runners can expect "fun swag bags" and event t-shirts, with post-race refreshments including doughnuts, bananas, and water available at the finish line. Parking is convenient at Lakeside Baptist Church or Euchee Marina, and transportation back to Ten Mile will be provided until 11:30 AM. Awards for overall and age-group winners will be presented at 10:30 AM or after the final finisher.
