TN Arsenal Moonlight Mile and 5K

Prepare for an enchanting evening run under the stars at the TN Arsenal Moonlight Mile and 5K, set to illuminate the scenic Maryville College Woods on Saturday, March 7, 2026, in Maryville, TN. This unique event offers runners a choice between a brisk 1-mile dash or a challenging 3.1-mile (5K) journey, both kicking off at 8:00 PM as the sun sets and the moonlight begins to cast its glow upon the tranquil paths.

The course, weaving through the picturesque Maryville College Woods, promises a memorable "moonlit adventure" through charming college scenery. With its tranquil paths, the terrain is designed to be runner-friendly, suitable for all abilities. Typical race day conditions in early March offer a pleasant atmosphere, with comfortable highs around 59F and lows around 39F, and only a 20% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the personal challenge and natural beauty, the TN Arsenal Moonlight Mile and 5K holds special significance as all proceeds benefit the TN Arsenal Youth Baseball Team, allowing runners to support local youth sports with every stride. Packet pickup will be conveniently located from 5-7 PM at the Pavilion within Maryville College Woods, which also serves as the central hub for both the start and finish of the races, fostering a sense of community and pre-race excitement. This event stands out as a unique opportunity to embrace the magic of night running while contributing to a great cause.
