Organiser's Description

Its our favorite kind of seasonal confusion! The Downtown Sevierville 5K is back, and this year it's packed with hometown charm, community spirit, and just the right amount of sparkle.
Hosted by the Sevierville Commons Association (aka the people who keep downtown delightful), this event starts and finishes right in front of the iconic Sevier County Courthouse, where youll find Dolly herself (or a beautiful bronze semblance thereof) rooting you on. And if you really want to strut your stuff, were giving a special award to the most spirited attire, so dont hold back. Sequins, wigs, and feather boas? Highly encouraged.
