The U.S. Cellular Big KnoxVenture Race is a one-of-a-kind race that combines brains and brawn as teams explore downtown Knoxville – it’s part road race, part scavenger hunt and a whole lotta fun!
Anyone with a pair of tennis shoes and a healthy sense of adventure can participate in The U.S. Cellular Big KnoxVenture Race. Oh, and a little competitiveness doesn’t hurt either. So, whether you’re a hardcore runner or just someone who wants to get off the couch, this race is for you.
It's your call. If they can keep up with you, we don't mind. We're all about family. Just remember, it's somewhat of a long course for little feet -- or parents pushing tots in strollers.
