Black Friday 5K Fun Run/Walk for Covenant Academy

Black Friday 5K Fun Run/Walk for Covenant Academy takes place in McMinnville, Tennessee, on Friday, November 27, 2026. There is one format, a 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 7:30 a.m., open to runners and walkers alike and organized in support of Covenant Academy. Entries are handled through RunSignup.

Scheduling a race for the day after Thanksgiving has an obvious appeal: it gives you a reason to move after the holiday and it is done early enough to leave the whole day ahead of you. The distance and the fun run format mean no structured plan is required, though if you would like to race it rather than jog it, a few weeks of three runs a week with one faster session will sharpen you. Walkers can take the full course at their own pace. With a 7:30 a.m. gun, arrive with enough margin to collect your number and loosen up properly.
