Clarksville Half Marathon

Clarksville Half Marathon is held in Clarksville, Tennessee, on November 14, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 7:00 a.m. and the 5K (3.1 miles) follows at 7:30 a.m., both running through downtown streets and city parks. The courses are USATF certified and timed by chip, so the results stand up to comparison, and the event is sponsored by Hankook Tire Manufacturing Tennessee. A post-race celebration follows the finish.

A certified half marathon is worth targeting if you want a time you can measure against other races or use as a qualifier elsewhere. Twelve weeks of training with a long run building toward 11 or 12 miles, plus one weekly tempo at around goal half-marathon pace, covers the distance. The 5K half an hour later suits anyone who wants a shorter effort or is supporting a runner in the longer race.
