Due to insurance regulations, we can't have pets in either race. Strollers or wagons are only allowed on the 1 mile fun run.

Course Info:

Both races will start and finish in front of the Peaceful Side Social Brewery & Craft Kitchen, at 7967 E Lamar Alexander Pkwy, Townsend, TN, next to the giant Bigfoot. We'll start on the backroads behind the Peaceful Side, then turn onto the greenway, navigate a course that may or may not include a Sasquatch sighting, then return to the Peaceful Side and finish under the arch. The race will happen rain or shine, but we may delay if there are heavy thunderstorms -- gotta' keep Bigfoot safe out there!
