5K AND 1 MILE FUN RUN

Race, run, walk, or crawl the Smoky Mountain Bigfoot 5K (or 1 mile!) in the Peaceful Side of the Smokies!

5K race and 1 mile fun run/walk starts at the Peaceful Side Social and features the best swag in the history of Bigfoot 5ks – you thought last year was good, this year is even ‘Squatchier!!

Swag Bag Includes:

Bigfoot T-shirt

Medal (yes, genuine Bigfoot-kissed metal!)…if you finish!

Bigfoot Lanyard (as if you needed any more style!) on that medal!

Cool Headband

Race Bib (which doubles as your free entry to the festival)

The 5K and 1 mile fun run start at 9:00 am, with full support along the way and a guaranteed good time! You might even (okay, you almost certainly will) experience a ‘Squatch sighting along the course! After the race, stick around for the Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Festival. Live music, vendors, food trucks, Bigfoot competitions, special guests, family-fun zone, and much much more (including the return of SlashSquatch! and introducing Bigtoeven) 

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

Your race entry includes parking for the festival (a $25 savings) and free entry to the event. If you move your car after the race, you’ll be asked to pay $25 for parking. Your non-running companions will need to pay the $15 entry fee (or $10 advance purchase).
