The BlueCross Autumnfest 8k and 2 Mile Walk and BlueCross Little Gobbler run are a great way to start your Thanksgiving Day. The BlueCross Autumnfest 8K and an out and back on Neyland Drive along the Tennessee River. Runners enjoy great scenery passing the UT football stadium and basketball arenas as well as the beautiful UT Gardens just before the turnaround. The out and back run makes it a great way to enjoy competition and see your fellow runners on such a great day.

The 2 Mile walk is also an out and back on the Neyland Greenway. Walkers get to reap the same benefit of the peace and quiet along the river while seeing other walkers that morning.

The BlueCross Little Gobbler Run ran for the first time in 2010. This kids dash is run along the Neyland Greenway for kids ages 12 and under. Kids will run in waves according to their age and each child will recieve a finisher prize.

This is a great Thanksgiving tradition for Knoxville and we encourage you to bring the family and join the fun before you sit down to your turkey dinner and give thanks for your blessings.
