In an effort to provide a safer, more seamless race start, we've created corrals that you'll see when you arrive race morning.

Corrals are groups of runners with similar paces or expected finishing times. This helps avoid tripping hazards in the opening chute and on the course and alleviates potential congestion within that first mile. It spreads out runners and walkers out to make the start as safe and smooth as possible.

You will receive an email with your corral information on Wednesday, November 26.

2025 Corrals

Elite Corral: Yep, we call you elite cause it's more fun! (You'll need a wristband to get in)

Corral A: Estimated Finish Times under 28 minutes (~9:00/mi.) This corral is for our participants who want to push themselves to a Turkey Day PR or just want a nice hard run before all the turkey fun. 

Corral B: Estimated Finish Times under 40 minutes (~12:52/mi.)

Corral C: Walkers and Strollers - if you're planning to enjoy the morning with a nice walk through Downtown Knoxville, or you're bringing your little one in a stroller, Corral C is all yours.
