The Best Knoxville 5k

Run. Pizza. Beer.

Are you looking for a fun Knoxville 5k? How about a fun run? The Barley’s St. Patrick’s 5k and Fun Run combine pizza, beer, and running for a good cause. The event occurs at Barleys Pizzaria and Taproom in the Old City on March 16, 2025, and takes advantage of Knoxville’s downtown atmosphere.
