CVTA’s Hill of Truth Festival takes place on October 24th, 2026 at the Haw Ridge Campground just down from the CVTA HQ on Old Edgemoor Road at Haw Ridge Park in Oak Ridge, TN.

On Saturday, October 24, the 12 Hours of the Hill of Truth mountain bike race will begin at 9:00 a.m. and continue until 9:00 p.m. Just after the mountain bike race gets underway, runners will start the HOT Trot trail running race, which follows the same 7–8 mile course. Haw Ridge is home to a number of trail running races throughout the year and we appreciate all of our trail users. If you don’t want to run, you can walk or bring the dog for a hike.

Free primitive camping is available Friday and Saturday evenings.​

As always we will have a free kids race at the campground. Kids and parents will meet at the event check-in at 1 p.m. on Saturday and parents must sign a waiver. There will be prizes!

​The campfire will begin on Saturday evening around dusk at the campground. This is a great time to relax and mingle with your fellow racers and spectators.

Event details are continuing to evolve, so be sure to check the event website for updates. This is a fun, family event and we are brainstorming some fresh ideas to make the Hill of Truth Festival even more fun for everyone!
