Participants can choose from a scenic 5K road race, a kid-friendly one-mile out-and-back, or a virtual option for those cheering us on from afar. Not into running? Walk it, stroll it, or strut it. Strollers and leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome. Virtual participants will receive a mailed race shirt and medal, and we encourage you to tag us in your most creative “race day” attire.
The flat, fully paved course winds through downtown streets and greenways, with road closures managed by the Sevierville Police Department. The start and finish line sits at the intersection of Court Avenue and Bruce Street.
