Description
The 5K event begins at the Norris Middle School, winds through historic neighborhoods, which are moderately hilly, and returns to downtown Norris. The 5K is 3.11 miles.
In addition to the 5K run, there will also be a 1-mile “Fun Walk” that meanders around the beautiful, tree-lined Norris “Commons” area. Adults of all ages, youngsters and baby carriages are welcomed on this slow paced enjoyable walk by picturesque cottages built over 80 years ago by TVA.
TVA built the town of Norris from the bottom up in 1933 as a model planned community to house workers and managers for TVA’s first dam. Called “The Garden City”, the community’s design is loosely based on the English garden city movement of the 1890’s. Winding roads followed the contour of the terrain.
“Running through Norris feels like you are running through a 1930’s Norman Rockwell painting,” said avid runner Chris Curtin. “It’s a very enjoyable, unique place to run!” There are three categories for participants: 5K run, 1 Mile Walk, and thenew Virtual Experience.
