New Year’s Day 5K
New Year’s Day is oftentimes a day of relaxation and recovery (from the holidays in general, and the night before in particular). If you want to ring in the New Year with a family friendly 5k run in the morning then you definitely owe it to yourself to check out this event. You can register right up until the day of the event!

So what is it all about? The Knoxville Track Club in conjunction with Calhoun’s Restaurant is hosting its annual New Year’s day 5k run. The race starts at 9:30 AM and you can sign up until 9:00 AM to participate! The race is along the scenic Tennessee River on Neyland Drive. The route is fairly flat and is considered to be the fastest 5k. The race is open to anyone who wishes to participate so all skill levels and age ranges will be participating. The top 75 males and the top 75 females to cross the finish line will receive awards. Participants will also be able to enjoy the all-day continental breakfast served by race sponsor Calhoun’s. If you are looking for a healthy way to ring in 2009, and still be able to watch football later in the day, this could b just the ticket!
