299 Old Edgemoor Drive, Oak Ridge TN
Saturday, July 11th, 2026
TIME & PLACE: 8M race starts at 8:00 am. KIDS RACE starts at 7:30am. Starts/finishes at 299 Old Edgemoor Drive near Oak Ridge TN. Google Maps Link to Start.
This 8 mile course will do some climbing early and offer good flow the balance of the run through Haw Ridge Park, with quite a bit of it along the lake, before returning to the finish line.
Course will be almost all on trail, almost exactly a mile, and way more than a mile's worth of fun! As those who ran it last year can attest, it’s a really, really good course.
Special limited edition T-shirts will be printed for the series. This is the same shirt as at all other Treadin’ Trodden Trails races: one shirt per runner PER SEASON please. Taking multiple shirts minimizes monies we are able to donate to trail friendly causes.
This year we'll be awarding the top 3 in each division free race entries. Additionally we’ll hold a drawing so that two lucky runners get a pair of shoes, thanks to the generous sponsorship of Runners Market. We’ll once again be presenting the awards at the annual KTC Holiday Party in December. Reminder, to qualify for series awards (and free shoes!), you’ll need to be a member of KTC, and you will need to have volunteered two times during the course of the trail race season.
Results will be available on this RunSignup page at the Results link.
We reserve the right to disqualify anyone who exhibits unsportsmanlike conduct or is abusive to volunteers. Due to insurance regulations, no headsets, earphones, bicycles, baby strollers, roller blades or pets on the course.
Our primary goal is to keep everybody safe out there in the woods. We’ve had some interest by younger folks in running the longer races, and we’re all over that idea, but we are also concerned about their safety. If a runner is under 12 years old, he or she will need to be accompanied by an adult in order to run the adult race (i.e. not the kids mile). Also, and this is less of a safety concern and more of a concern for the welfare of our volunteers: we’ll enforce the 18:00/mile minimum pace. This has been our policy all along but we’ve gotten a little lax and this keeps our volunteers in the woods far longer than they should have to be. Moving forward, each race will have a sweeper, and runners will need to be moving at greater than an 18:00/mile pace to stay in the race. Don’t get caught by the sweep!
This is safety-related - we want to make sure that everybody who starts the race stays safe. If you take a bib, we think you’re running the race. Then when you don’t show up at the finish, we have to try and track you down and make sure you’re not lost in the woods or hurt. So please -- if you’re not running the race, don’t take a bib. Also, if you have to drop out of the race, please let one of the race officials know so you are accounted for. Also, don’t crunch or fold the bib, or tear off the bottom. We need an unspoiled bib to record your time and finish place.
We love our volunteers! Please connect with us if you’d like to volunteer (trails@ktc.org), and you can find openings at the "Volunteer" link above.
The Knoxville Track Club Board of Directors has approved an Event Safety Policy, viewable here: Weather Policy. Please familiarize yourself with it.
