Some Like it Hot Knoxville, TN   Aug 1, 2020

Enjoy the summer sun, make some friends, have a great time! The Some Like it Hot course is basically completely flat, on a paved path that meanders around Victor Ashe Park, a multi-loop/out-and-back type of thing where you’ll pass one central aid station multiple times.

There is one giant aid station, right in the middle of the course, and you run back and forth until you get up to the distance you’re aiming for. Does this sound tedious? Only if you make it that way. This course design keeps the people changing as they cross your path, which keeps things interesting for you. Run with someone new for each lap, reach out and give someone a high five, tell the person passing you that they are awesome and hear the same in return. The camaraderie with a looped course really can’t be beat.

This is a no t-shirt, no pressure, no whining event. (As is tradition with this race, t-shirts, hoodies, tank tops, and other gear is available for purchase.)

The most important thing to remember is that our focus is on FUN. Only a handful of people ever have a real chance of winning any race. Our crew caters to the 99% – the ones who will never win but who still deserve an amazing race experience. If you think you’re signing up for an uber-competitive, super-speedy race, we’d suggest you pass on ours and look for something else. But if you like hanging out with fun people, if you like giving or receiving high fives, if you think loud music and cowbells are essential, if you are more worried about having a good time vs. winning, if you like being spoiled, if you like fun surprises, if you want to be with people who truly enjoy your company and want to see you succeed, we hope you join us, because you’re just the kind of person we want to hang out with!
