The 6th Annual Little River Run 5K is set for 11 AM on Saturday, November 16th at the Townsend Abbey (7765 River Rd. Townsend, TN 37882). Join Keep Blount Beautiful (KBB) and Little River Watershed Association (LRWA) for a run (or walk!) by the Little River in view of the Great Smoky Mountains! This race is a great way to support a clean, green, and beautiful Blount County.
The Little River Run 5K represents a joint effort through which both KBB and LRWA encourage participants to engage with their community, enjoy the beauty of Blount County, and help spread the message of environmental stewardship. All proceeds from the run will support the many free events, programs, and educational initiatives offered by both organizations, including litter pickups, stream cleanups, invasive species removal, recycling collections, and educational programs.
We are offering both an in-person and virtual option for the race. The in-person race is a chip-timed event. Participants of all ages are welcome. Early-bird registration is $25 and ends at 11:59 PM Monday, September 9th. Registration will increase to $30 on Tuesday, September 10th. Registration will increase to $35 on Monday, November 11th. Children 12 and under can register for a rate of $15 at any time. Registration will also be available on race day. Virtual races are not chip-timed and are a flat rate of $30.
The run begins at the Townsend Abbey (7765 River Road, Townsend, Tennessee 37882) and moves along a flat course by the Little River. The course then curves to connect with the Townsend Historical Greenway for a short time before turning down a side road and then ending back at the Townsend Abbey.
Awards will be announced to the top three finishers, both male and female, and the 1st and 2nd finishers, both male and female, based on the following age brackets: 0-16, 17-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74, 75+. Awards will be announced at 12 PM outside of the Townsend Abbey, weather permitting.

We reserve the right to postpone/cancel the race, or change all registrations to a virtual run, should government guidelines recommend no gatherings of the estimated size of the Little River Run 5K per the date of the race.
