The Call Light the Way 5K

The Call Light the Way 5K is a nighttime 5K at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, held in November during the park’s Smoky Mountain Christmas festival. The race is more than ten years old and includes both runners and walkers, with a 1-mile Fun Walk suggested for anyone who may not finish the 5K within 90 minutes. The start is located next to Dollywood’s toll booths, and the certified course uses the park’s tram road before sending participants more than halfway outside the park. The finish brings participants back through Dollywood’s Christmas display, with about 6 million lights illuminating the park, and participants can book race room blocks at Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort & Spa nearby.
