Talon's Trot Homecoming 5K

The Race for Breast Cancer Awareness - in Memory of Christy Bowlin 5K run/walk will be held on October 7th, 2023, on Carson-Newman's campus. The race is in memory of Christy Yonz Bowlin, the Carson-Newman University cheer and dance coach from 2007-2021, who passed away from a courageous battle against breast cancer. Her athletes became part of her family - she prayed for them, encouraged them, mentored them, and cared for them more than anyone would ever know. All benefits will be contributed toward an endowed scholarship in memory of Christy. 

The Race for Breast Cancer Awareness - in Memory of Christy Bowlin 5K route will give you a glimpse of our beautiful campus and town. As we start our race at the Randall and Kay O'Brien Amphitheater, you will navigate through campus by Ken Sparks Way to Centennial Park and then to our Historic Downtown. After you make your way through Downtown, you will loop around through campus, passing Butler Hall, Henderson Hall, Doughtery Science Building, and finish at the amphitheater.
