About the Event

The 1000 Mile BikeWalk for Prevention to be held October 31, 2026, Halloween morning. THIS IS A NEW DATE.

The"Spooktacular"1000 Miler is a regional fun ride/walk/run for kids, teens, adults... the whole family... to enjoy a fun and healthy morning while helping a good cause. Not a timed race, the 1000 Miler will record the distances traveled by every runner and rider to reach the cumulative event goal of 1000 miles.

Costumes and bike decorations are highly encouraged. Teams, too.

Separate long and short biking and walking circuits of 15 and 5 miles and 1 mile, respectively, over semi-closed roadways, plus a ¼ mile sidewalk-only Jr. BikeWaker route. Prizes will be awarded in each of several classifications for the greatest distance travelled during the several hour event. Teams that fund raise independently will be awarded bonus mileage based on their donations to the event on or before event day. Registered virtual BikeWalkers may sleep in and still partipate in the event by registering online.

BikeWalk Morristown, TN — the organization — was founded to support those who like to bike, e-Bike, walk, run, etc. and want to share their active lifestyle with others. The 1000 Mile BikeWalk for Prevention — the event — will raise funds for the Hamblen County Substance Abuse Coalition, because research has shown that when people, especially teens, immerse themselves in activities they truly enjoy, there is less tendency to turn to dangerous substances. That's why the Coalition is involved.

About Morristown

Learn more about the host city, Morristown.

Morristown is in Eastern Tennessee. Settled in the years just after the Revolutionary War, around 1787, Davy Crockett once lived here. Prior to the Civil Rights era, Morristown had one of the only two colleges in eastern Tennessee established for African Americans, called Morristown College. One newer development is the unique urban renewal design that was implemented for the town in the 1960s, with elevated sidewalks connecting city blocks downtown. The idea didn't really take off in terms of ushering in commerce, but it does have a peculiar look nonetheless.
