Little River Rush Half Marathon

Little River Rush Half Marathon is a point-to-point race in East Tennessee, starting at the Smoky Mountain Heritage Center in Townsend and finishing at Heritage High School in Maryville. The course travels peaceful back roads, offering sweeping mountain views and a fast, downhill profile with substantial total descent. Runners are shuttled from the finish location to the start, and aid stations with water and Gatorade are located at miles 4, 7, and 10.

All finishers receive a custom medal, and proceeds benefit Heritage High School’s cross country and track programs. The event emphasizes a scenic, low-congestion experience for local athletes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
