Keep Knoxville Beautiful Trash Run Set May 31, 2018

Posted: 05/21/2018
Keep Knoxville Beautiful will host a Trash Run in East Knoxville on Thursday, May 31. Check-in will begin at Last Days of Autumn Brewing at 808 East Magnolia Avenue at 5:30 p.m. and the run will start at 6:00. 

The Trash Run is a non-competitive fun run and litter pickup for runners/walkers of all ages. There is no designated route for the event; rather, participants are encouraged to spend an hour running or walking and collecting litter in the area. Keep Knoxville Beautiful will provide maps, gloves, bags, safety vests, and litter-pickers. 

At the conclusion of the run at 7:00, participants are invited to enjoy $2 off beer and will have the chance to win prizes, courtesy of Last Days of Autumn Brewing, Mabry-Hazen House, and Chandler’s Deli. The event is free but participants must register - click here to register or visit KeepKnoxvilleBeautiful.org and click on the Upcoming Events link.

East Knoxville is Keep Knoxville Beautiful’s Community of the Year through June 2018, and this is one of the last events that KKB will host in the area. Please join Keep Knoxville Beautiful at the Trash Run and help make East Knoxville a cleaner, greener, more beautiful place to live.
