"When I was asked to take over as the race director of Autumnfest, I was excited to try to continue the high standards that had been set for this race, which I did by introducing you in 2003 to a brand new 8K course. With our terrific sponsor, Riverside Tavern, we will stage and begin the race at the restaurant, which will give us the opportunity to maintain the race?s familiar feel with a few improvements along the way.
We will head out of the driveway from the Riverside Tavern and take the eastbound lanes of Neyland Drive up to the entrance to Calhoun?s at Walnut Drive. We will cross over to the westbound lanes of Neyland and head down to Lake Loudon Blvd., turn right and proceed partway up the hill to the first left, which is U.T. Drive. Proceed up U.T. Drive to cross over Volunteer Blvd up to Andy Holt. Turn left on Andy Holt, cross back over Volunteer Blvd, cross the campus connector bridge and take the left on to Chapman Drive. Proceed behind the Vet School to right on Jacob Drive, then right on River Drive in front of the Vet School and back left on Center Drive the short distance to Neyland Drive. Cross over to the eastbound lanes of Neyland and cruise back to the driveway at Riverside Tavern where we?ll finish at the entrance to the parking lot.
Come join us as we celebrate the beginning of the holiday season with this event that has become a tradition for so many of us."
