Lace up your shoes for the Eagle 5K and 10K, taking place on Saturday, July 25, 2026, in scenic Knoxville, Tennessee! This vibrant event offers runners the choice of a 5K or a 10K distance, both designed as an engaging out-and-back course. The 5K runners will complete two loops, while those tackling the 10K will navigate the course four times, promising a rewarding challenge for all abilities. The race kicks off at 8:30 AM next to the Knoxville Parks & Recreation building, located at 1807 Adair Drive, providing a pleasant backdrop for your run.
Participants can look forward to earning a well-deserved finisher medal, commemorating their accomplishment, and even have the chance to win awards for the best costume, adding a fun and festive element to race day. Typical race day conditions in late July feature highs around 88°F and lows around 67°F, with a 20% chance of precipitation, so runners should prepare for a warm, potentially humid run. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the start, from 8:00 AM to 8:20 AM, and all runners must register online in advance, as no on-site registration will be available. A generous two-hour time limit ensures that participants can enjoy the course at their own pace.
The Eagle 5K and 10K fosters a strong sense of community and is an excellent opportunity to experience Knoxville's active running scene. While specific details on aid station frequency are not provided, the looped nature of the course typically ensures convenient access to hydration for all participants.
