Fall Fest 5K and Fun Run
The third annual Fall Fest 5K and Fun Run takes place on September 26, 2026, at Blythe Oldfield Park in Cleveland, Tennessee. The event is timed by Terra Running Co. and benefits City Fields and its work to reconnect forgotten neighborhoods.
Distances offered:
- 5K running race
- 1 mile walk and fun run
The 5K uses a newer route that includes some challenging hills. A 1 mile option provides a shorter course through the park and neighborhood. Students from Blythe Bower Elementary may participate at no cost, and neighborhood residents are eligible for a reduced rate; organizers provide further discount details.
Pricing is tiered by date: extra early bird rates apply through July 15, standard rates apply through September 1, and higher rates apply after September 1. All registrations are final and nonrefundable. The event is scheduled to proceed rain or shine; in the case of hazardous weather it will be postponed to a later date.
Early packet pickup is scheduled for September 25 at 1075 Blythe Avenue SE, Suite 4. Parking is available at the park main lot, park street parking, and additional nearby church lots; a more detailed parking map is provided to registered participants. Strollers and dogs are permitted. Participants bringing dogs should note the route passes residential areas where other dogs may bark or react, and dogs sensitive to that environment may be more comfortable at home.
