Event Overview
Hann Jivin' in the Dark is a night trail running event in Knoxville, Tennessee. The event includes a 6-mile distance, a 6-mile option for students 14 and under, and a Kids Trail Mile.
Location and Course
The start and finish point is at Anderson-South Head Start (formerly Anderson School) at 4808 Prospect Road, Knoxville. The 6-7 mile (10k+) course is a circuitous, well-marked route through the mostly unlit wooded trails of the South Loop of Knoxville's Urban Wilderness, touring the Lost Chromosome and Helix Trails. The trails are marked but not illuminated; participants must bring a flashlight or headlamp to be allowed on the course. The kids' course is described as a miniaturized, less dark version of the adult route.
