Event Overview
The Cove Lake 5K is an established running event held in Caryville, Tennessee. First organized in 1998, the race takes place within Cove Lake State Park. Participants follow a course on paved trails that pass through wooded areas and along the lake shore.
The event offers several participation options:
- 5K OPEN
- Athlete With Disability
- Virtual Run Anywhere 5K
- Sleeping But Supporting
Race Logistics and Participation
Packet pick-up is located at the administration building near the start line. Those who register by June 6 are eligible for a race shirt, which is distributed on the day of the race while supplies last. After-race refreshments are provided to participants following the event.
The virtual option allows participants to complete a 5K distance on a course of their choosing during a specified two-week window. Virtual runners can use the RaceJoy mobile application to track their distance and time or submit their results manually. While virtual participants receive a race shirt, they are not eligible for competitive awards.
Awards and Recognition
Awards are presented to the top three male and female overall finishers. Additionally, recognition is given to winners in Masters (40+), Grandmasters (50+), and Veterans (60+) categories. Age division awards are also available for groups ranging from 12 and under to 80 and over. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
