Oak Ridge to Kingston Express Marathon

Oak Ridge to Kingston Express Marathon & Half Marathon takes place in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, offering two races: a marathon and a half marathon. The marathon is an out-and-back on the Oak Ridge Turnpike with minimal elevation gain; the half is a point-to-point highway course with light traffic and low elevation. The event is capped at 50 participants and emphasizes Boston Marathon Qualifying potential through strong age-group performances on this course.

It is described as low-key and no-frills—no shirts, awards, or amenities—with runners sharing the road and no headphones allowed. Water stops on the marathon occur at miles 5 and 10 outbound and 16 and 21 return. Both courses are USATF-certified (TN21010MS). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
