Established in 2010 by the Mach Tenn Running Club, the Oak Barrel Half Marathon has become a sought-after event, attracting participants nationwide. The 13.1-mile loop begins near the Lynchburg town square, winding through rural landscapes and past the iconic Jack Daniel's Distillery, before concluding back at the square. A notable feature of the course is "Whiskey Hill," a significant incline around the 3.5-mile mark that tests runners' endurance. The event fosters a strong community atmosphere, with local volunteers and spectators supporting participants throughout the race.
