Elkmont is quickly becoming the place to be for runners. You see them downtown, on the trail, in the village and around the school. Who knew that when several of our die hard runners organized the Elkmont Couch Potato to 5K group to get ready for the Athens Chick-fil-a race in April, they would cause quite a stir.
They became the Elkmont Trailblazers and over 100 people ran in that race. Many have gone on to run in other area races. The Trailblazers have been informally meeting at various times as they continue to run and enjoy the company.
They have their own facebook page but it is a closed group and you will need to request an invite. Lots of encouraging words and updates where those running feet will be next.

The running continues on with the Elkmont High School Cross Country team doing volunteer runs on the trail (Rails to Trails) Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays this summer at 6 pm - starts next to Elkmont depot. Come on out and join us. Run at your own pace and enjoy the company! Come join us and get your summer started off right!
