Cummins Falls Marathon, Half, 10K, 5K

Saturday, February 27, 2027Cookeville, TN5K – Marathon

The Cummins Falls Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K offer a scenic and challenging experience through the rural back roads of Jackson County, Tennessee. Runners will enjoy the natural beauty of the Blackburn Fork State Scenic River, which borders much of the course for the longer distances. These routes are known for their steep hills, making them a demanding test for both traditional marathoners and trail enthusiasts. Beyond the race, the event serves a meaningful purpose by raising funds for critical land acquisitions and improvements at Cummins Falls State Park. Every finisher is rewarded with a unique, handcrafted wood medal to commemorate their achievement. Whether you are tackling the full marathon or the 5K, this event combines competitive spirit with a commitment to local conservation.
