Get your tail in gear and get ready to Run for the Schools! Participants can choose from 3 different races including a 5K, 1-mile fun run / walk or a 100-yard dash. All three races are in the zoo and will finish at the Chimp Ridge Tent where we will celebrate your success with music, face painting, refreshments and more.Then you can enjoy the day visiting the animals at Knoxville Zoo!
Our Mission
The purpose of this race is to benefit the students and teachers of all schools (both public and private) in Knox County. In the current state of the economy, all schools are in need of additional sources of revenue to maintain their desired level of educational opportunities for the students. This event will afford the schools a spring fund raising opportunity. The proceeds from the event will be distributed to the schools based on each individual school's level of participation. The teachers are a vital resource in the development of our most important hope for the future of our families and our way of life---our children.
