Lucky Kidney Run

04/20/2026

What an unforgettable March! 🍀

Over 400 runners and walkers joined us for the Lucky Kidney Run, and 3,000+ people attended Knox Shamrock Fest. Together, we raised awareness, celebrated our Moments of Hope with Daniel, Teresa, and Neil, and showed the power of community in the fight against kidney disease in East Tennessee.

Thank you for the amazing turnout and for standing with us. Your support helps bring hope, awareness, and strength to so many.

That’s right — the Lucky Kidney Run 6K kicks off from World’s Fair Park! 🏃‍♂️🍀

This scenic out-and-back course takes you along the 2nd Creek Greenway, connects to the Neyland Drive Greenway, and then spins you right back the same way — finishing strong on the World’s Fair Park Lawn where the Knox Shamrock Fest festivities will be waiting for you at the finish line.

💧 Water / Aid Station:
Need a refresh? We’ve got you covered. A water stop will be set up at the halfway point to keep you hydrated and moving strong.

Grab your crew and come run for a cause.
