This popular gathering, hosted at the scenic Holston River Park (3300 Holston Hills Road), promises a festive atmosphere for runners of all abilities. Participants can choose their challenge from a 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon (13.1M) distance, with all races starting promptly at 9:00 AM.
The course itself offers a straightforward out-and-back design, ensuring a clear path for all participants. Runners in the 5K will complete the course twice, 10K participants four times, and those tackling the Half Marathon will navigate it six times, all within a generous 3-hour and 30-minute time limit. The starting line is conveniently located near Shelter #1, and packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the race. Be prepared for typical race day conditions in early July, with highs generally around 89°F and lows around 66°F, and about a 19% chance of precipitation.
Every finisher will be celebrated with a themed medal to commemorate their achievement, and the event encourages a fun spirit with an award for the best costume. This race is a fantastic opportunity to earn points towards the US Road Running Race Series. Remember, all registrations must be completed online via RunSignup, as no on-site registration will be available.
