Bluegrass Half Marathon & Relays
The Bluegrass Half Marathon is an annual running event held in Johnson City, Tennessee. The course is USATF Certified and features a start and finish area located at the Founder's Park Pavilion. Participants can choose to compete individually or as part of a team.
Available distances and categories include:
- Half Marathon (21.1 km)
- 2-4 person relay
- Virtual half marathon
The relay option is open to teams of two to four people with specific categories for coed, male, and female squads. For those choosing the virtual option, participants may complete the distance at a location of their choice and submit their results via a photo or screenshot of their tracking device.
The course includes three designated exchange points for relay teams: Local Motion on Alabama Street, Southside Elementary School, and the Tomy Thai parking lot at State of Franklin and Lyle Street. There are also three additional water stations providing water and electrolyte drinks positioned at the Burley Parking Lot, the corner of Walnut Street and Earnest Street, and the intersection of Market Street and Gold Star Boulevard.
Medals are presented to all finishers who display their race bib. Trophies are awarded to the top three overall male and female finishers, as well as winners in masters, grandmasters, and various age groups ranging from 1-19 to 70+. This event is also the first leg of The Trifecta, a series of three half marathons that includes the Haunted Half Marathon and the Music & Miles Half Marathon.
