Knoxville, United States • 9-31 May 2026
Event Overview
Hann Jivin' in the Dark is a night trail run held in Knoxville, Tennessee. The event starts and finishes at the Anderson-South Head Start facility on Prospect Road.
Courses and Distances
The event offers three distances:

- 6 Mile (Student 14 and under): A youth version of the main race.

A minimum pace of 18 minutes per mile is enforced, with a sweeper on the course.
