Join the vibrant running and walking community at the Third Creek Greenway parkrun, a free, fun, and friendly 5K event held every Saturday in Knoxville, TN. On April 25, 2026, experience the welcoming atmosphere that makes parkrun a global phenomenon, perfect for seasoned runners, casual joggers, and walkers alike. Typical race day conditions in late April offer pleasant highs around 74°F and lows near 48°F, with only an 18% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal setting for your weekly 5K.

The Third Creek Greenway parkrun unfolds on a 5000m (5K) out-and-back course, entirely paved and largely shaded, offering a scenic journey through this lush part of Tennessee. While generally accessible, the course features a few gentle rises and falls, adding a subtle challenge to the route. Starting and finishing in the clearing near the Safety City parking lot off S Concord Street, participants will navigate two turnaround points along the greenway. As a community event utilizing shared paths, participants are encouraged to be mindful and give way to other park users, fostering a respectful and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Launched in October 2019 as the 38th parkrun in the USA, this event is entirely volunteer-organized and thrives on its inclusive spirit, welcoming individuals of all abilities and paces. After you've completed your 5K, the camaraderie continues with a post-parkrun coffee meetup at a local spot, a cherished tradition that brings participants together to connect and celebrate their achievements. Simply register once online for your personalized barcode, and you're ready to experience the Third Creek Greenway parkrun, where every Saturday is an opportunity for fitness, friendship, and fun.
