Run Across Tennessee 170 Mile Relay
The Run Across Tennessee is a 170 mile relay routed through Eastern Tennessee. The course begins just north of Harrogate at the Tennessee/Virginia state line, continues south through Knoxville, and finishes at the Tennessee/Georgia state line just south of Cleveland. The event is scheduled for the weekend of June 5 through June 7, 2026.
Teams will hold a virtual meeting on Friday, June 5, 2026, and may begin their relay any time between Friday and Sunday with the intention of completing the route together on Sunday. The overall placing is based on the least elapsed time between a team start and finish; a penalty is applied for finishing outside the designated finish window to equalize different pacing strategies.
This event is organized as a fundraiser; all proceeds support research and treatment for a child with an ultra rare NGLY1 deficiency. It is not a formal race. Teams and runners are responsible for their own transportation, food, water, lodging, and safety. Course roads will remain open to traffic. Two sections of the course must be skipped because they lack a shoulder and have high commercial traffic. Participants must wear high visibility vests during the day and illuminated vests at night. Registration closes May 21, 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
