Event Series
The Healthy Blount Triple Crown of Running is a series of three races. The series consists of the Spring Sprint (April 18, 2026), the Scholars Run (July 25, 2026), and the Reindeer Run (December 6, 2026). Registering for all three events before the Spring Sprint offers a discount.
Races
Each event in the series features two distances:
- A 5K run
- A 1-mile fun run/walk
The courses use city streets and, for some 1-mile events, campus grounds. The first event, the Spring Sprint, is based at the Springbrook Recreation Center in Alcoa.
Awards and Perks
To be eligible for the Triple Crown cash awards and a special memento, participants must complete all three races. Participating in two races makes one eligible to win door prizes. Both runners and walkers are eligible for door prizes at each event. All participants receive a T-shirt. An awards ceremony is held after each race, with awards for the top three finishers in each age group. Post-race refreshments are served.
General Information
Packet pick-up is available on the Thursday before each event at Dick's Sporting Goods in Alcoa. The use of baby strollers, bicycles, roller blades, or dogs by participants is not allowed during the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
