About the Elkmont Hound Dog Half
The course mixes road and trail, winding through the outdoor scenery around Elkmont. It is a genuine mix of surfaces and enough challenge to keep it interesting, and dogs on leash are welcome to run the half alongside their owners. A separate shorter course is set up for people who want to walk or run with their dog at a more casual pace.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a Fleet Feet location, with an option to pick up at the registration tent on race morning. Parking is on the band practice field at the high school. Bathrooms are available at the start and at points along the course.

The Elkmont Hound Dog Half has been held every year since at least 2026. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 18, 2026.
