Girls on the Run Greater Knoxville Spring 5K Celebration
Girls on the Run Greater Knoxville holds an end-of-season celebratory 5K that gives program participants a concrete sense of accomplishment. The event closes the season and focuses on completion and confidence for participants of all abilities.
The 5K course is 3.1 miles. The event is presented at Victor Ashe Park, 4901 Bradshaw Road, Knoxville, TN 37912, with the date listed as Saturday, November 14, 2026 (TBC). The council describes the event as non-competitive; the fastest participants may finish in about 25 minutes, while most finish between 30 and 50 minutes. Participants may walk, run, push, roll or skip at their own pace.
Every registered participant who completes the 5K receives a commemorative medal. Program participants and coaches are already registered through the council and do not need separate registration. Registration fees vary by category and timing, with early bird, general online, and race day rates for adults and youth.
Safety and accessibility measures include mandatory race bibs, assigned running buddies, course monitoring, head counts, a council safety plan, and designated accessible parking. Strollers and well-behaved leashed dogs are permitted with requests to start toward the back of the field. The event also offers amenities such as water stations, face painting, happy hair stations, merchandise for sale, and vendor support from local and national partners.
