Run Dollywood Race Weekend

April 25 - 26, 2026

Dollywood Parks & Resorts presents the inaugural Run Dollywood race weekend, set for April 25-26, 2026. Participants can enjoy Dollywood’s Flower & Food Festival and the beauty of spring in the Smokies as they race through a fun-filled course winding through the park and surrounding area.

A full calendar of races is planned, including a marquee half-marathon on Sunday morning. Companion races—a kids fun run (ages 4-12), 5k, and 10k—are scheduled for Saturday morning. Race bib pickup takes place on Friday, April 24, at Dollywood’s HeartSong Lodge & Resort.

Participants can earn inaugural race awards while enjoying live music and on-course entertainment. All participants receive event-specific T-shirts, race bibs, and commemorative medals. Following the event, participants can spend the rest of the day enjoying the world-class attractions, entertainment, and fun of the park.
