Where to Eat


The Marathon Dining Partners

We will not be having a pasta dinner this year.  So, what does that mean?
Time to Dine Out!  Thanks to the partner restaurants listed below, you will be able to find wonderful meals (with plenty of carbs) and fun and festive atmospheres in several Knoxville areas.  Some will be offering specials to marathon participants, so be sure to bring some proof.  Get out there and enjoy them - it's time to celebrate and experience what Knoxville has to offer.  And don't forget to celebrate on Sunday after the race!

Bonefish Grill specializes in market fresh fish grilled over an oak-burning grill, which gives the fish a tasty, even cook. A tantalizing array of sauces and original toppings, ranging from fresh and light to rich and flavorful, are offered to enhance the flavor of the fish, each in a fun and different way.
