🏃♂️ Race Overview
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: Register early to guarantee your size.
- Medal: Yes, genuine Bigfoot-kissed metal! If you finish!
- Bigfoot Lanyard: As if you needed any more style on that medal!
- Cool Headband: Look stylish while you run!
- Race Bib: Your official race identification.
- Wrist Band: Your free entry into the Bigfoot Festival!
⚠️ Important Registration Note
Note: The week of the festival we will print shirts. We will print extras of each size, but if you register late you may not be guaranteed your choice of size, or we might be out of shirts and other swag entirely. So register early!
⏰ Race Schedule
The 1 mile fun run will start at 8:30am, and the 5K will 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 Bigtoeven!)
🐾 Pet Policy
Due to insurance regulations, we can't have pets in either race. Strollers or wagons are only allowed on the 1 mile fun run.
💵 Entry Information
