The Knox Greenways Coalition will hold the 20th annual Greenways 5k and 2-mile Dog Jog Saturday, March 26, 2011, to raise support for local greenways.
The race will be held on the Third Creek Greenway, one of Knoxville's principal greenway/bike trails. The 5K race (3.1 miles) will begin at 9 a.m. at West High School, proceeding eastward along the greenway, then back. The 2-mile walk and dog jog will begin immediately after the start of the 5K and proceed westward along the greenway and back. Pets on leashes are also welcome on the walk.
The event will include live music and refreshments for participants (including dogs) after the race.
The event is organized by the Knoxville Greenways Coalition and the Knoxville Track Club. Funds raised by the race/walk/dog jog will be used to promote the development and use of greenways in Knoxville and Knox County.
The runner's fee is $25 for the race. The registration fee for walkers is $15. There is a $5 discount for a "no-shirt" option.
