Holiday Hustle 5K'ish and 10K'ish

Holiday Hustle Trail Race

Join Evergreen Property Group and Bad Beard Events for the 3rd Holiday Hustle Trail Race in the picturesque Black Creek subdivision, supporting the Tennessee River Gorge Trust! Experience the thrill of the brand-new trails on Aetna Mountain with race options for everyone: a challenging 10K and a swift 5K. Set against the stunning backdrop of Mt. Aetna, this event offers the perfect way to get outside and enjoy the beauty of nature just before Christmas.

Every runner will receive fun Christmas swag and pancakes after the race. ALL ability levels are welcome, and YES, you can hike the course if you do not want to run it.

The 5k-ish is a single blue/green loop and the 10k-ish is two same-direction loops. There will be one full aid station with water, and snacks at the main Aeta Trailhead. The start/finish has a large open field, covered pavilions with picnic tables and grills, a playground, a dog park, and a basketball court. So, be sure to bring the entire family, including the pups (but they cannot run the race), for a day of fun, even if you're not running!

Packet Pickup will be from 7:30-8:45am and both races will begin at 9:00 AM.

Race distances are around 3.7 miles (approx. 5955 meters) for the 5K and 7.2 miles (approx. 11587 meters) for the 10K. Each loop has around 600ft of gain.
