Tranquility Lake Trail Run

Awaken your trail legs and embrace the serene beauty of Oak Mountain State Park at the welcoming Tranquility Trail Run on March 7, 2026. This is the perfect gateway event for newcomers, offering a beautiful 3-mile loop around Tranquility Lake or a relaxed 6-mile two-lap option, both featuring gentle, runnable terrain with just enough elevation to feel authentic. Starting from the Redbud Pavilion, the course begins with a short road section to spread out runners before dipping into peaceful woods, creating an ideal, unintimidating introduction to singletrack running. As the kickoff to the Southeastern Trail Series, the event fosters a laid-back, supportive community atmosphere where the primary goal is fun and enjoying the great outdoors.

Beyond the run, the day is designed for connection, with post-race food and beverages encouraging participants to swap stories and celebrate each other's accomplishments at the picturesque lakefront. With awards for overall and youth categories in both distances, the event recognizes speed while championing participation for all ages and abilities. Remember that a $5 park entry fee applies, and registering before February 14th secures your commemorative race shirt. Whether you're taking your first steps on trail or easing back into the season, this race promises a genuinely tranquil and joyful running experience.
