Cades Cove Loop Lope

Ready to race through breathtaking scenery for a good cause? Join us at the Cades Cove Loop Lope, the only footrace set in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and a solid supporter of Friends of the Smokies. Whether you're in for a quick 5K jaunt or up for the challenge of a 10-Mile Loop, know that every step you take contributes to vital park projects—from wildlife preservation to grassland restoration.

But act fast! With only 800 spots available, this unique race fills up quickly. Can't be there in person? No sweat—go for the Virtual Race option and still snag that finisher's medallion! Just remember, if you're driving to the main event, grab a parking pass pronto, or plan to carpool, ensuring you won't miss out on this spectacular day.
