Overview

Embark on a whimsical journey with the annual I Just Want To Be A Unicorn Half Marathon and 5K in Knoxville, TN.

Hosted by Personal Best Racing, Patdome Promotions, and The Julia Barbara Foundation, this magical event unfolds along the scenic riverfront greenways and roads of the city.

The experience begins with the Half Marathon, leading runners west on Neyland to the river-crossing greenway, then along Tyson Greenway to Concord, concluding at Volunteer Landing.

The 5K commences shortly after, tracing Neyland’s path and turning around at the connection of the new and old greenways.

All participants receive a medal, with unique designs for Half Marathon finishers. Awards include top male and female performers, masters, and age group recognitions.

Teams enjoy automatic discounts and have a chance to win the Biggest and Fastest Team trophies at the awards ceremony.
