Southern 6 Trail Race Collegedale, TN   Feb 22, 2026

Come join the annual McKee Southern 6 Trail Race presented by Southern Adventist University’s Outdoor Adventure Program! Everyone and anyone is invited to run in the six kilometer trail race and compete for cash prizes. The event will take place on the campus’ White Oak Mountain trails in Collegedale, Tennessee.

The 6K course is ~3.6 miles with ~440 feet of vertical gain, mostly on rolling, hard-packed mountain bike trails. After a steep climb in the first mile, the last 2.5 miles are a rolling descent to the finish. Whether you are a beginner trail runner or love crushing a short, fast trail course, this race is for you.

Proceeds from your registration fee will go to support Southern’s Adventure Program in bringing disadvantaged, inner-city children from Hamilton County schools to the ropes course on campus and our other outdoor programs. With your help, we are introducing hundreds of young students to the magic of the woods.
