    4.2 mile race to Fund Campbell County High School Scholarships

    Race will start and end vacant lot on Eagle Bluff Road at the rear of the Eagle Gas and Food Market at 3070 Appalachian Hwy, Jacksboro, TN.

    Race packet pickup on day of race 7:15 to 8:15 am. Race starts at 8:30 am.

    A challenging course, here is your chance to say you made it to the top of Eagle Bluff. Starting on Eagle Bluff Road, you will head towards the mountain. In time, you will turn right and take the gravel road and a series of switch backs to the trail that leads to the top of Eagle Bluff. This is where you will turn around after taking a photo overlooking the valley. Head back down the hill to the finish line. You will cover a course just a little over 4 miles and climb 930 feet in elevation. The next time you drive along the four lane and look up at the mountain, you can say, “I conquered the bluff!”

    This event is brought to you by the Campbell County High School Relief Fund. A 501(c)(3) organization, our fund’s objective is to raise and accept funds for the benefit of Campbell County High School (CCHS) students. Specifically, we award each spring two $1,500 scholarships in Ken Bruce’s memory and one $1,500 scholarship in Nolan Baird’s memory. In the past, we have awarded a $1,000 middle college scholarship to CCHS junior. Awarding newly created scholarships in a donor’s honor is always an option.
