RC - MoonPie 10 Mile and 5K Races - Bell Buckle
The Bell Buckle Chamber of Commerce presents the 31st annual RC Cola – MoonPie races on June 19, 2027, in Bell Buckle, Tennessee (6 Railroad Square). The event includes two certified distance options:
- 10 Mile
- 5K
Packet pick-up is located in the alleyway behind the downtown shops and is marked by tall red registration flags; pickup is available the day before the race in the afternoon and on race morning. Runners must bring a QR code or a photo ID to check in. Race bibs include a timing chip. Race shirts are guaranteed for pre-registered entrants, though sizes are not guaranteed.
Course maps and race-day information are provided at packet pick-up and in event materials. Directional signs and mile markers will be on the routes; 5K runners veer off from the 10 Mile course near the half-mile mark. Water stops for the 10 Mile are located at mile markers 2, 4, 6 and 8, with Gatorade available at miles 6 and 8. A water stop for the 5K is provided just beyond the two mile mark. Porta potties are placed at the post office parking lot next to the caboose; none are placed along the route.
The finish area is in the large parking lot in front of the downtown stores. All finishers receive a medal and a post-race runner breakfast under the pavilion. Trophies are awarded to the top three male and female overall, masters (40+) and grandmasters (50+), with age-group awards for standard divisions. Strollers are allowed at the back of the start area; pets are not allowed on course. Registrations are final; transfers between races may be allowed for a fee if space is available. The event is held rain or shine, with provisions for dangerous weather. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
