PBR SwimRun Knox & Trail Run

The PBR SwimRun Knox & Trail Run takes place in Knoxville, Tennessee, at Mead's Quarry and the Ijams Nature Center. Known as the gateway to the Urban Wilderness or "Dirty South," the venue provides a course through natural terrain and wooded areas. The event offers a variety of competitions for both multisport athletes and specialized runners.

The SwimRun categories allow for participation as an individual or in teams of two. This format involves alternating between swimming and running sections throughout the course. For those focused exclusively on running, there are designated trail race options on the same day.

The event features several participation categories:

  • SwimRun Individual
  • SwimRun Male Teams
  • SwimRun Female Teams
  • SwimRun Mixed Teams
  • Individual 13.1 Trail Run Only
  • Individual Trail RUN ONLY 5k

The course utilizes a combined distance format designed to showcase the views and landscape of the local nature center and quarry. Registration is open to the public with pricing tiers that increase as the event date approaches. Participants can find maps and cue sheets for both short and long course options to prepare for the specific layout of the Urban Wilderness.
