Description: Cummins Falls Marathon, Half, 10K, 5K
Location: Cummins Falls State Park
These four races are very scenic, with the marathon, half-marathon, and 10K routes following the Blackburn Fork State Scenic River for a good portion of the route. The three longer-distance races are very challenging, with steep hills and great scenery. All four routes are run on the picturesque rural back roads of Jackson County, Tennessee, and are sure to be enjoyed by traditional marathon runners and trail runners alike.
We will be offering a discount for 5K and 10K teams of five that register together, as well as Half and Full Marathon teams of three. Grab a few friends and sign up for the race as a team and receive $5 (5K and 10K) - $10 (Half and Full Marathon) off your registration! The first four (5K and 10K) or first two (half and full) will pay the full registration price; once the fifth (5K and 10K) or third (half and full) runners register, a refund to the first registrants will be made automatically.
Our goal is to provide a quality outdoor recreational event while raising funds to assist with critical land acquisitions and other needs at Cummins Falls State Park.
