5K Fun Run
Lace up your sneakers and get your purple on! This isn’t just a race—it’s a FUN RUN! Enjoy a scenic jaunt through the residential district, admire the historic homes, and catch those mountain vibes as you head toward the Pulaski Trail before sauntering back to the heart of downtown. Everyone is invited to the party:
~Pro runners looking to leave us in the dust
~Power walkers and casual saunterers
~Stroller-pushing parents
~Pups on leashes (the more the merrier!)
Whether you’re leading the pack or bringing up the rear, it’s the most invigorating way to kick off your day. Plus, every registered runner scores an official commemorative t-shirt and a token for a legendary Huckleberry Breakfast or Lunch at the Brooks Hotel.
