About the Event

33rd Annual Run the Tunnel is a 3.8ish Mile Road/Trail footrace hosted by the State of Franklin Track Club and the Scott County Chamber of Commerce, held at the beautiful Natural Tunnel State Park in Duffield, VA

Run the Tunnel is part of the State of Franklin Track Club's King & Queen and Trail Series competitions.

Awards will be given to the male and female winners in the following categories: Overall, Masters, Grandmasters, and Senior Grandmasters. Awards will also be given (three deep) for both male and female in the following age groups: 19 & Under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80 & Above.

Awards are not traditional trophies or medals but items base on the race "theme of the year." The 2026 race theme was .... "You've Earned Your Stripes" and the awards were handmade zebra-print seat covers! The 2027 race theme will be announced ….well…just as soon as I come up with one. LOL

All participants will receive a race t-shirt.
