Come enjoy the sites and sounds of the fall season with us. The S’Mores Run is a family-friendly event. You can walk, run, skip or stroll but please no bicycles. Please note that there is a narrow trail and bridge to The Smokehouse BBQ Restaurant from the trail. We will have a shuttle for those that are unable to access the S’mores Extravaganza due to age or stroller.
Participants will receive a super cool t-shirt, door prizes, the ultimate S’Mores Extravaganza and other goodies.
The race will start at the trailhead in Johnson City with the finish at mile marker 3.5 so the run will be a little longer than the typical 5K race. For your extra effort, we have marshmallows and chocolate waiting for you at the Smokehouse. 😉
This is a dog friendly event…
Canine participants are welcome and must be well socialized and on a leash. All dog owners are responsible to clean up after their dogs. Plastic bags will be available at check-in. We will have treats and water for your fur baby but no medals will given to animals.
