I Just Want to Be A Unicorn Half Marathon

I Just Want to Be A Unicorn Half Marathon and 5k

Personal Best Racing organizes a half marathon, a 5k run/walk, and a virtual option along Knoxville riverfront greenways and nearby roads. The in-person finish is at Volunteer Landing and the courses use greenway connections and park roads.

Distances:

• Half Marathon - 13.1 Miles
• 5k Run/Walk - 3.1 Miles
• Virtual 5k or Half Marathon - virtual option available

The half marathon route heads west on Neyland Drive to a greenway connection that crosses the river and goes through wooded sections, then follows the Tyson Greenway to Concord before returning to Volunteer Landing. The 5k route heads west on Neyland and turns around at the connection of the new and old greenways. Virtual participants may complete either distance remotely.

Packet pickup is scheduled Friday evening, March 5 at The Long Run, 2452 Sutherland Ave, Knoxville, TN 37919 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm, and again Saturday morning at Volunteer Landing, 956 Volunteer Landing Lane, from 6:30 to 7:50 am for both the half marathon and 5k.

All participants receive a medal; half marathon medals differ from the 5k medals. Awards include top three male and female overall, top masters male and female, and three-deep age-group awards across standard age categories from 5 and under through 90+.

Registration fees listed for each event vary by entry type. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
