🎉 Description

It's low key. It's like a group run, but with swag. There are cowbells and music and camaraderie and great scenery! You can run, walk, skip, you can do it in sneakers or in sandals or in no shoes at all. This is a completely judgment free zone, and we're in it to have a good time!

🛤️ The Course

• Path: The course is mostly flat, some small inclines/declines, on a paved path that meanders by the Tennessee River.
• Facilities: Restrooms with toilets that flush and sinks with running water and soap.
• Refreshments: You will pass the start/finish/aid station area multiple times throughout the race.
• Community: It's much more about camaraderie than competition.

🥳 Registration Details

• Entry Fee: Your registration fee includes entry into the race distance of your choosing.
• Swag: Race swag includes shirts and items from races that no longer exist.
