About the event
For generations, Dollywood has been a place where families come together to make lasting memories. This fall, guests can add a new tradition to the season during the Run Dollywood Fall Race Weekend, taking place September 25–27, 2026.
Set against the backdrop of the Great Smoky Mountains’ vibrant fall colors, participants will enjoy a race experience unlike any other as courses travel through Dollywood and surrounding resort areas. The weekend’s signature half marathon will be held Sunday morning, while Friday features the 5K and Saturday will host the 10K, and Kids Fun Run for ages 4–12.
Along the way, runners will be cheered on with entertainment, music, and the unmistakable warmth that makes Dollywood a favorite destination.

After crossing the finish line, guests can continue the fun by enjoying the rides, shows, and attractions that have made Dollywood one of America’s most celebrated theme parks.
