This vibrant event offers runners the choice of a 5K or a 10K distance, both designed as an engaging out-and-back course. The 5K runners will complete two loops, while those tackling the 10K will navigate the course four times, promising a rewarding challenge for all abilities. The race kicks off at 8:30 AM next to the Knoxville Parks & Recreation building, located at 1807 Adair Drive, providing a pleasant backdrop for your run.

Participants can look forward to earning a well-deserved finisher medal, commemorating their accomplishment, and even have the chance to win awards for the best costume, adding a fun and festive element to race day. Typical race day conditions in late July feature highs around 88°F and lows around 67°F, with a 20% chance of precipitation, so runners should prepare for a warm, potentially humid run. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the start, from 8:00 AM to 8:20 AM, and all runners must register online in advance, as no on-site registration will be available. A generous two-hour time limit ensures that participants can enjoy the course at their own pace.
