Miles for Milestones - Knoxville

Miles for Milestones - Knoxville takes place in Knoxville, Tennessee, on October 31, 2026. One format is on the program: the Miles for Milestones 5K, 3.1 miles, starting at 9:00 a.m. That is later than most fall road races go off, which gives you room for a proper breakfast and an unhurried warm-up.

Three miles is a distance you can approach two ways. Newer runners can walk-run it comfortably and still finish inside an hour; anyone with a target time will get more out of a short sharpening block, two quality sessions a week at 5K pace, one easy long run, and full rest days in between. Whatever the goal, jog at least ten minutes beforehand and add a few strides, because a 5K is over quickly enough that starting cold costs you most of the first mile.
