Event Overview
The US Road Running event in Jackson, Tennessee, features a series of paved out-and-back races held at North Park. This event offers structured distances for various running preferences, all taking place on a closed, paved course. The start line is located adjacent to the park playground, with designated parking available in the lot near the tennis courts.
Distances and Course Layout
Participants can choose from three distinct distances. Each follows an out-and-back format on a paved surface:
- 5K: This race uses a 0.78-mile out-and-back loop (1.56 miles total), completed two times.
- 10K: This race uses the same 0.78-mile out-and-back loop, completed four times.
- Half Marathon: This race uses a 1.09-mile out-and-back loop (2.18 miles total), completed six times.

Registration must be completed in advance through the online platform; there is no option for on-site registration. Packet pickup is conducted at the event site shortly before the official start. All finishers receive a medal upon completion of their race. A course time limit of three hours and 30 minutes is enforced for all distances. Participants are also encouraged to participate in a best costume award category, and the event contributes points toward a wider race series.
