Group Runs

 

These runs are not just for members. Everyone is welcome!

Mondays

Much like the venerable Wednesday night runs at Runners Market in Bearden, the Monday night runners and walkers meet at 5:45 pm at Runners Market in Farragut. All runners and walkers, regardless of ability level, are most welcome to participate. For more info, contact the shop at 671.4854.

Tuesdays

Track workouts take place on Tuesday afternoons at 5:30 pm at the University of Tennessee's Tom Black Track on Volunteer Boulevard on the UTK campus. Several groups workout concurrently, some are quite fast with others a bit slower. Workouts are planned for runners of all speeds. Coach Keith Gemeinhart orchestrates the workout activities. Info on workouts can be accessed through this blog.

Wednesdays

If you are visiting Knoxville, new to town, new to the club, or just looking to get more involved, this is the place to start! A festive and relaxed group get-together occurs every Wednesday afternoon at 5:30 pm at Runners Market, 4443 Kingston Pike Avenue, Western Plaza . During Daylight Savings Time, the run usually takes place on the Third Creek Greenway/Bike Trail. When darkness forces the courageous misfits off the trail, leaders generally head for the nearby Cherokee Boulevard/Sequoyah Hills neighborhood for a comfortably paced run of 5-6 miles. Afterward, cool beverages and good company are shared by participants.

Saturdays

Beginning on September 8 and running through October 20, the KTC will host long runs on Saturdays beginning at 8 am in preparation for the 2011 Pilot CrossKnox 10 Miler on October 28, 2012. For more information, contact us at knoxtrackevents@gmail.com.

Sundays

At present no organized KTC Sunday run is taking place but as soon as another is organized, this listing will be updated.

Occasional

Three or four times a year, a group of club members will assemble in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for a running tour of the Cades Cove Loop Road, an 11-mile jaunt. At other times during the year, the Wednesday Night Runners will meet in downtown Knoxville or elsewhere for festive runs, generally followed by equally festive post-run celebrations. Check the event calendar for upcoming events.
