This year we are celebrating our 6th annual 5K for the Ten Mile/Watts Bar Lake area! The race benefits our Meigs County Volunteer Fire Department. It is a pleasant course with gentle hills and lake views and will be professionally timed by the Knoxville Track Club so competitive racers can use time to qualify for other races. It is also open to casual runners and walkers. Baby joggers and well behaved leashed dogs* are welcome after other racers start This will not affect timing as runners are chipped.

It is a safe and well managed race with first responders leading and following racers. The race is on pavement except for the last few feet which is on light gravel. The race will run from the Ten Mile town area 3.1 miles up to Euchee Marina. Runners can park at the Ten Mile at Lakeside Baptist Church or Euchee Marina. Transportation from Euchee back to Ten Mile will be provided until 11:30, or participants can provide their own. There will be local swag bags, t-shirts and doughnuts, bananas Gatorade and water at the end of the race.

All proceeds from the race will go to our Meigs County volunteer fire department! If you don’t want to participate in the race, but would like to donate, that option is available as well. Looking forward to seeing you all!

    August 16-17, 2025 | Somewhere Real Hot, Real Hilly | Rural Tennessee- The Barkley's LONG LONG Distant Cousin

    Welcome to the heat. Welcome to the hills. Welcome to The Dog Days of Summer, where the trails are brutal, the vibes are feral, and every sweaty, soul-grinding step helps save the lives of animals in rural Tennessee—places where shelters don’t exist and animal control is just a rumor.

    This is trail running in its purest, rawest form. No frills. No inflated egos. Just dirt, heatwaves, and a whole lot of heart.

    RACE OPTIONS:

    Choose your pain:

    1-mile loop or 3-mile loop (we THINK that's how far they are...)

    1 hour, 3 hour, 6 hour, 12 hour, or the ultimate 24 HOUR GAUNTLET

    Each loop starts and ends at a single aid station party zone. You’ll climb gnarly hills (seriously, we’re an hour from the Barkley Marathons—so yeah, it’s gross out here), melt into the Tennessee humidity, and then do it all over again… and again… and again. There's no elevation chart—just pain, persistence, and the occasional goat or pig.

    WHY YOU DO THIS:

    Because you're a lunatic.

    Because you want the hardest, sweatiest, most mentally delicious training day of your year.

    Because it’s the same day as the Leadville 100, and you get to honor the soul of trail running in your own backyard.

    But mostly? Because you're saving real lives—dogs, cats, pigs, and animals that no one else is looking out for. All race proceeds go directly to helping animals in rural Tennessee where support is non-existent but the need is massive.

    WHO SHOULD RUN:

    Trail runners who don’t care about shiny medals and care deeply about making a difference.

    People who can laugh while hallucinating in 90+ degree heat.

    Runners who would rather high-five a dog than post a PR.

    You. You badass.

    WHAT TO EXPECT:

    • Loops with heartbreak hills and shady bits you’ll cry into

    • Water. Electrolytes. Probably watermelon. Maybe someone grilling something weird.

    • A community of dirtbag runners who know how to suffer well and love even harder

    • Barkley-style trail names given after certain milestones (or meltdowns)

    • Dogs. Possibly goats. Maybe Coco the emotional support bunny. We’re not saying no.

    So grab your trail shoes, your sense of humor, and your biggest heart. Let’s run for those who can’t. Let’s suffer for the strays. Let’s prove that the trail community shows up, even when the thermometer says we shouldn’t.

    The Dog Days are here. Let’s run wild.

    Tent Camping is Free and encouraged, if it is rainy we will be busing people in so don't count on car camping. Another great option....

    Imagine spending the Dog Days Trail Race weekend in total comfort and charm at one of the Lemon Lane Farm glamping sites! Nestled just minutes from the race course, these beautifully styled glamping sites offer the perfect balance of rustic retreat and cozy luxury. Whether you’re running, cheering, or just soaking in the good vibes, you’ll love unwinding under the stars with a real bed, private space, and peaceful views of the farm. It’s the ultimate way to elevate your race weekend experience—no tent setup, no hot car sleeping, just pure glamping bliss.

    The best part? Each glamping site is available through a silent auction, and 100% of the proceeds go directly to Flying Pigs Sanctuary to help save and care for more animals in need. Your stay doesn’t just support your own comfort—it gives pigs, pups, and more a second chance at life. To learn more about the individual glamping setups, visit Lemon Lane Farm . And if you have questions, Amy is happy to help at 615-496-8031. Bid on sites at this link. Glamping Sits Silent Auction
