The Big Run 2023

Short review

On June 3, let’s inspire the runner in everyone.

2020 marks the fourth year of The Big Run®, our annual nationwide 5K event on Global Running Day. In partnership with Brooks Running, we celebrate our local communities by bringing tens of thousands of runners together to cross a finish line and achieve a goal. Here in Knoxville we have a certified, timed 5K to celebrate Global Running Day.  We want everyone to be able to participate, so we are having 6:30 am, 9:00 am and 6:30 pm heats for this race!   

Why? Because RUNNING CHANGES EVERYTHING™.

As if the endorphins weren’t enough, we recognize runners of all levels through a fun range of cash prize opportunities totaling over $5,000 that reward speed, participation, and human connection. All results will funnel up into a national leader-board to determine and reward the overall fastest runners and age groupers in the country with some pretty cool cash prizes.  Click here to learn more.

We want to see the whole community participate because, seriously, running together rocks. Let us recap the ways:
