About the Springbrook Splash

The course heads out from Springbrook Pool onto the Maryville-Alcoa Greenway, a rolling out-and-back on paved greenway paths. The terrain moves gently up and down rather than staying flat, so expect a little work in both directions. The finish brings you back to the pool, which is open for swimming after you cross the line.

Bib pickup is on race morning at the pool, starting well before the first wave goes off. Parking is spread across several nearby lots, including the pool itself, the recreation center next door, and a little league park close by. There is a coffee and ice cream truck at the finish, and post-race swimming is open to all runners.

Common Questions About the Springbrook Splash

Will I finish last at the Springbrook Splash?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 32:21, and the last recorded finisher came in around 59:39, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Springbrook Splash a good first 5K?

It is a small race (186 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Springbrook Splash?

The 5K winner ran 18:13 while the median finisher took 32:21. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
