    The Farragut Primary School PTO is hosting its first 5K Dolphin Dash Fundraiser. The event will take place on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at the Primary School. We will have kids dashes (ages 3-8 years old) and the 5K run/walk with prizes for place finishers. The Dolphin Dash is planned around family, fun, fitness and community!

    Finley’s Fun Run is a separate but related event to the Dolphin Dash 5K and will take place on Thursday, April 23, during your student’s Encore time.

    Because this event is held during the school day, every FPS student will have the opportunity to participate. Children will run laps outdoors in the grassy area on campus, or inside the gym if weather does not cooperate. Our fantastic FPS music teachers will be DJing the event, and each participant will receive a healthy snack and a ribbon upon completing their run.

    Our goal is to come together as a community by supporting our school and children so that they may have a better education. All proceeds will be used by FPS PTO to fund additional playground equipment designed specifically for students with limited mobility or that require aid to access the existing playground equipment. These students will be able to enjoy expanded independent play areas alongside their peers. Our hope is to raise $20,000 to purchase items that will be available for student use during the 2026-27 school year and beyond.

    We hope you’ll consider supporting this exciting event with a donation. Thank you for helping make Finley’s Fun Run and the Dolphin Dash a memorable experience for our students!

    If you are interested in donating or sponsorship opportunities, please email us at fpsptodolphindash@gmail.com

    Thank you for your continued support!

    Race for a Reason is more than a 5K, it’s a chance to show up for our community and the animals who need us most. Join us for a fun, family-friendly run at Pinnacle Turkey Creek on April 26th as we come together to support the Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley, a local nonprofit dedicated to providing care, shelter, and second chances for animals in need.

    Haw Ridge Eight Mile Trail Race and Kids Trail Mile

    TIME & PLACE: 8M race starts at 8:00 am. KIDS RACE starts at 7:30am. Starts/finishes at 299 Old Edgemoor Drive near Oak Ridge TN. Google Maps Link to Start.

    COURSE DESCRIPTION: This 8 mile course will do some climbing early and offer good flow the balance of the run through Haw Ridge Park, with quite a bit of it along the lake, before returning to the finish line.

    KIDS TRAIL RUN: Course will be almost all on trail, almost exactly a mile, and way more than a mile's worth of fun! As those who ran it last year can attest, it's a really, really good course.

    REGISTRATION AND FEES (NO REFUNDS AND NO BIB TRANSFERS): Registration fees above, KTC member discount accepted. Not a member of KTC? Sign up here!

    SPECIAL SERIES REGISTRATION OFFERS: Sign up online for 7 for $109 Season Pass, or Kids 7 for $29 Kids Pass bundle deals and SAVE BIG! Trail Series Bundle Expires June 1.

    T-SHIRTS: Special limited edition T-shirts will be printed for the series. This is the same shirt as at all other Treadin’ Trodden Trails races; one shirt per runner PER SEASON please. Taking multiple shirts minimizes monies we are able to donate to trail friendly causes.

    TTT SERIES AWARDS: This year we'll be awarding the top 3 in each division free race entries. Additionally we'll hold a drawing so that two lucky runners get a pair of shoes, thanks to the generous sponsorship of Runners Market. We'll once again be presenting the awards at the annual KTC Holiday Party in December. Reminder, to qualify for series awards (and free shoes!), you'll need to be a member of KTC, and you will need to have volunteered two times during the course of the trail race season.

    RESULTS: Results will be available on this RunSignup page at the Results link.

    COURSE ETIQUETTE: We reserve the right to disqualify anyone who exhibits unsportsmanlike conduct or is abusive to volunteers. Due to insurance regulations, no headsets, earphones, bicycles, baby strollers, roller blades or pets on the course.

    SAFETY: One aid station will be set up roughly halfway through the race at a lakeside picnic table. There will be a limited supply of very small cups, so we urge you to carry your own hydration container. We also strongly recommend that anyone sensitive to insect stings or bites carry their own medication. Finally, we urge that everyone do some pre-race training offroad, as there is no substitute for experience. We want you to have a good time.

    SAFETY POLICY CLARIFICATION: Our primary goal is to keep everybody safe out there in the woods. We've had some interest by younger folks in running the longer races, and we're all over that idea, but we are also concerned about their safety. If a runner is under 12 years old, he or she will need to be accompanied by an adult in order to run the adult race (i.e. not the kids mile). Also, and this is less of a safety concern and more of a concern for the welfare of our volunteers: we'll enforce the 18:00/mile minimum pace. This has been our policy all along but we've gotten a little lax and this keeps our volunteers in the woods far longer than they should have to be. Moving forward, each race will have a sweeper, and runners will need to be moving at greater than an 18:00/mile pace to stay in the race. Don't get caught by the sweep!

    DON'T TAKE A BIB IF YOU'RE NOT RUNNING. This is safety-related - we want to make sure that everybody who starts the race stays safe. If you take a bib, we think you're running the race. Then when you don't show up at the finish, we have to try and track you down and make sure you're not lost in the woods or hurt. So please -- if you're not running the race, don't take a bib. Also, if you have to drop out of the race, please let one of the race officials know so you are accounted for. Also, don't crunch or fold the bib, or tear off the bottom. We need an unspoiled bib to record your time and finish place.

    INFO FOR VOLUNTEERING: We love our volunteers! Please connect with us if you'd like to volunteer (trails@ktc.org), and you can find openings at the "Volunteer" link above.

    KTC SAFETY POLICY: The Knoxville Track Club Board of Directors has approved an Event Safety Policy, viewable here: Weather Policy. Please familiarize yourself with it.
