About
Strap on your running shoes for a cause that's both urgent and uplifting—the Race to Save the Laurel Dace! The Tennessee Aquarium is thrilled to unveil the first ever Laurel Dace Day with a 5K run, a celebration that goes beyond mere sport to raise crucial awareness for a little fish with a big need, found exclusively on Walden's Ridge. By registering for the 5K at 8 a.m. ET, you're not just running; you're getting an exclusive custom t-shirt and a chance to champion conservation. If you've got little ones or prefer a shorter trek, the family-friendly free half-mile fun run at 9 a.m. ET is perfect for you. Once you've conquered the course, join us at the Spring City Nature Park for an explosion of festivity alongside the shimmering Piney River! Dive into a local farmers market, peruse artisan crafts, groove to live music, and delight in food and drinks. Plus, don't miss the hands-on fun with the dedicated Tennessee Aquarium conservationists, all set to ignite your passion for nature and community. This is more than a race; it's a day to connect, enjoy, and make a splash for conservation!
