Dogwood Classic 5K Run/Walk

The Dogwood Classic 5K Run/Walk is held annually in Knoxville, Tennessee, with the 2026 event taking place on Cherokee Boulevard. This USATF-certified loop course starts and finishes at the west parking lot of 2250 Cherokee Boulevard. The event features a 5K race, a Kids Run, and virtual options for both distances.

Participants receive unisex t-shirts if registered by the deadline, with an option to forgo the shirt in favor of tree planting. Awards are given to top overall finishers, age groups, and specialty categories. The race is part of the Knoxville Track Club’s Grand Prix team competition and offers post-race refreshments in a friendly, community-focused atmosphere.
