Dollywood has always been a place where memories are measured in smiles — now those memories also can be measured in miles thanks to the inaugural Dollywood Parks & Resorts Run Dollywood race weekend set for April 25-26, 2026. Participants can enjoy Dollywood’s Flower & Food Festival, as well as the beauty of spring in the Smokies, as they race through the fun-filled course that winds its way through the park and the surrounding area. A full calendar of races is planned for the inaugural event weekend, including the marquee half-marathon slated for Sunday morning. Companion races — a kids fun run (ages 4-12), 5k, and 10k — are scheduled for Saturday morning. Race bib pickup takes place on Friday, April 24, at Dollywood’s HeartSong Lodge & Resort. Participants can earn inaugural race awards while enjoying live music and on-course entertainment as they make their way through the award-winning park. All participants receive event-specific T-shirts, race bibs, and commemorative medals. Fol
