Thank you to everyone who made the 8th annual Cades Cove Loop Lope a success!
With 750 participants traveling from 27 different states, we came together to celebrate and support Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Thanks to the incredible spirit and generosity of the race community, this event has now raised nearly half a million dollars for the Smokies!
Every step, every cheer, and every donation makes a lasting impact on the park we all love.
Check out the video below for a recap of this amazing event!
The Cades Cove Loop Lope is the only organized footrace held inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park, to benefit Friends of the Smokies. All funds raised benefit park projects and programs such as historic preservation, wildlife conservation, native plant and grassland restoration, and much more.
Carpooling is essential to maximizing participation in this race. A limited number of vehicle reservations for site access will be available for purchase for an additional fee. Registrants who do not purchase a vehicle pass must either carpool with a passholder they know or utilize the group transportation option from the Townsend Visitors Center. Handicapped accessible transportation will be available.
