Girls on the Run Greater Knoxville 5K
The event is an end of season celebratory 5K intended to give program participants a tangible sense of accomplishment. The course is 3.1 miles and is presented as a noncompetitive, celebratory event where participants may walk, run, push, roll or skip at their own pace.
The fall 5K is scheduled to take place at Victor Ashe Park in Knoxville, Tennessee on Saturday, November 14, 2026 (TBC). Program participants and coaches are pre-registered through the council and do not need to register again; other family members and community participants may register separately and will be charged a registration fee that increases closer to the event and on race day.
Safety measures include the requirement that every participant wear a race bib, assignment of a running buddy for each program participant, course monitoring with head counts, and a council safety plan that trains staff and volunteers on emergency response. All registrations include a liability waiver.
The event is described as accessible for people with disabilities, with designated parking spots and options for participants to move at their own pace. Strollers are permitted with a request that those using strollers start toward the back of the field. Well behaved dogs are allowed on leash with the same request. Every registered participant who completes the course receives a commemorative medal. Additional on-site features include merchandise, water stations, face painting and happy hair stations.
