Racing in Tennessee

Tennessee runs a year-round race calendar, so there’s almost always a race near you. The calendar is busiest in September, October, and November, with races most often held in Knoxville, Memphis, Nashville, and Chattanooga.

Races in Tennessee run from the Great Smoky Mountains and Appalachian ridges in the east through the rolling hills of Middle Tennessee to the flat Mississippi River lowlands in the west. Expect steep mountain trail ultras, rolling road races near Nashville, and flat delta courses.

Conditions vary widely by region across Tennessee, so weather lives where it’s accurate — each race page shows its typical race-day high, low, and rain chance from NOAA climate normals for that venue and date.
