About the race
Fall Creek Falls road runs take place at Fall Creek Falls State Park, with the event site adjacent to the Welcome Center at 2009 Village Camp Road in Spencer, Tennessee. The organizer schedules the event on the third weekend of each year.
Distances offered:
- Half Marathon: 13.1 miles
- 10K Run: 6.2 miles
- 5K Run: 5K
The course is fully paved and follows park trails and roads, with shaded sections and routing that goes across Fall Creek Falls Dam and through the Taft Village area. The half marathon is two loops of the paved bike trail and park road sections. The 5K uses an out-and-back along a paved path through woods; the 10K and half marathon follow a different park road route.
Aid stations are provided on course and include water and a sports drink; five stations are noted on the loop and participants are urged to carry a bottle or container for refills. Timing verification points will be located along the course. T-shirts and a finisher medal or award are provided for each distance.
There is no on-site race registration. Packet pickup is at the race site at the baseball diamond adjacent to the Welcome Center. Pre-event information is sent to participants the week of the event. Campsites, cabins, and lodge accommodations are available in the park and are commonly reserved in advance.
Awards include overall top three male and female, masters 40 plus, and age-group awards for multiple M and F age groups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
