Cades Cove Loop Lope- November 8, 2026
The 2026 Cades Cove Loop Lope will take place on Sunday, November 8, 2026. We are so grateful for the runners, walkers, volunteers, and sponsors who make this event possible. Registration will open the first week of June, we look forward to another wonderful day together in Cades Cove.
The Cades Cove Loop Lope is the only organized footrace held inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Proceeds benefit Friends of the Smokies to pay for park projects and programs such as historic preservation, wildlife conservation, native plant and grassland restoration, and many more park needs that would otherwise go unfunded.
