Event Overview
The Clarksville Half Marathon & 5K is held in Clarksville, Tennessee. This event marks its third year. It features multiple running events and ruck divisions.
Race Details
Participants can choose from several events:

For ruck divisions, participants must carry specified weights: 30 lbs for men and 20 lbs for women. This weight does not include food or water. The ruck must be a backpack worn on the back, and the weight must be dry and secure. A mandatory weigh-in and weigh-out process is required at the race site.
The half marathon and 5K courses are USATF-certified and chip-timed. The route goes through downtown Clarksville streets and offers scenic city views. A finish line celebration includes music, photos, and post-race activities.
