This year's CrossKnox 10 Miler, starting at 8am on October 27, is a point to point race showcasing Knoxville's Greenway System. The race was originally a 15K but was run in 2010 as a 10 Miler in celebration of running it on 10.10.10. There was even lighthearted discussion of changing it to an 11-miler on 11.11.11, but cooler heads prevailed and the ten miler won the day.
The route begins at Morningside Park on Hazen Street and winds through the park to Ned McWherter Park and follows the greenway along the river, past Calhoun's and Volunteer Landing, and heads toward UT Campus. The route continues along the Neyland Greenway and past the UT Gardens and Vet School where the route turns right onto Joe Johnson Drive and then right onto EJ Chapman Drive. The course winds behind the campus and heads back to 3rd Creek Greenway. The course then proceeds on to Tyson Park and continues along 3rd Creek Greenway past the EarthFare and over to the Bearden Greenway where it finishes just before Bearden Elementary School.
The Walk begins in the same location and follows the same route to 2nd Creek Greenway where walkers will head toward World's Fair Park.
Buses will be available to take all participants back to the start area where post-race festivities will be held.
