2021 Ready. Set. Grow! Virtual 5K
About
Keep Tennessee Beautiful will host the fifth Annual Ready. Set. Grow! 5K during the month of October 2021. The Ready. Set. Grow! 5K is a health awareness event to rally Tennesseans on keeping our state clean and beautiful.
The Ready. Set. Grow! 5K will be held virtual to ensure the safety of our participants and to follow the CDC guidelines of social distancing.
This year Keep Tennessee Beautiful will partner with the Tennessee State Parks and the Northeast Tennessee Tourism Association.
