The Farragut Fall 5K takes place in November in Farragut, Tennessee, starting at Mayor Bob Leonard Park on Watt Road. The primary event is a 5K run, alongside a 1-mile fun walk/run for those seeking a shorter, more relaxed pace. The race begins in the morning, presenting as a local community event rather than a major destination race. The event includes separate 5K and 1-mile categories for military veterans, aligning with its November date. A “Sleep In” option is available for those who wish to support the cause without participating in the run or walk. This race has a history spanning over twenty years, and parking has occasionally been directed to Harrison Road due to park construction affecting standard access.

The True Hero Veterans 5K is a chip-timed road race in Tellico Plains, Tennessee. It begins at 9:00 AM from Tellico Plains High School on Hwy 68. The event honors veterans and active military personnel; runners are encouraged to wear patriotic clothing. It also serves as a fundraiser for the Tellico Plains High School Baseball team, lending the morning a local school-and-community atmosphere instead of a large commercial race feel. The course is a certified single loop starting and finishing at the high school, passing through downtown Tellico Plains. Finishers receive an athletic dry-fit shirt. Awards will be given for both overall and age-group categories following the run. Chris Hollinghead directs the event, now in its fifth year. Packet pickup is available before the start, with an awards ceremony planned for late morning.

Run LoCo is an annual winter race in Lenoir City, Tennessee, held at the Tellico Lake Canal Day Use Area. Participants can choose between a certified half marathon beginning in the morning, and the 5K Elf on the Run, starting shortly after, which encourages holiday costumes and family involvement. The half marathon is chip-timed and follows a course near Tellico Lake and the Tellico Dam area, offering open water and dam-side scenery instead of a downtown setting. All participants receive a hoodie and medal. Parking is available in the Tellico Dam Area, and race proceeds benefit the Loudon County Education Foundation.
