The Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon is an annual weekend-long event held in early spring with a health and fitness expo and five different running events: 26.2-mile marathon, 13.1-mile half-marathon, four-person marathon relay, 5K run and one-mile fun run for children 12 and under. The race course showcases many of Knoxville’s scenic neighborhoods. Participation in the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon has doubled, growing from 2,900 total registered runners in 2005 to nearly 6,000 in 2013 to 8,000 in 2014.

The Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon is the premier event of the Knoxville Track Club and is produced by the KTC, with the help of the City of Knoxville, the University of Tennessee, and the title sponsor, Covenant Health.
