Get ready to dive into the excitement of the Springbrook Splash, Presented by Covenant Health, on August 1, 2026, in scenic Alcoa, TN. This vibrant community event, a proud staple of the Knoxville Track Club's Grand Prix series, offers distances for every runner: a challenging 10K, a swift 5K, and an engaging 1-mile race. The USATF-certified course starts and finishes at the historic Springbrook Pool, leading runners on a rolling out-and-back journey towards the beautiful Maryville-Alcoa Greenway. With two aid stations strategically placed along the 10K route (at miles 1.2/4.3 and 3.1/finish), you'll be well-supported as you navigate the course. Typical race day conditions in early August bring highs around 89°F and lows around 69°F, with a 17% chance of precipitation, making for a warm but often invigorating run.

What truly sets the Springbrook Splash apart is the unparalleled post-race experience. After crossing the finish line, participants are invited to cool down with complimentary access to the Springbrook Pool, a beloved local landmark built in the 1930s. This refreshing dip, combined with post-race refreshments, creates a festive and memorable atmosphere for runners and walkers of all levels. The course's "rolling" terrain and picturesque greenway sections are designed to be enjoyable for a wide range of abilities, promising a rewarding experience whether you're chasing a personal best or simply enjoying the community spirit. Join fellow enthusiasts for a day of fitness, fun, and a unique splash in Alcoa's iconic pool.
