About the 2026 Little Debbie® Christmas Tree Cake Run
The runs cover Collegedale's greenway, winding through scenic surroundings, with the start and finish anchored at Little Debbie Park. The walk takes a different path, looping along the sidewalk beside the park rather than heading out on the trail. The park itself has pavilions that double as shelter if the weather turns.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at the Little Debbie Bakery Store on Apison Pike, with race-morning pickup also available at the Commons. Parking is free and spread across several nearby lots, including spaces near the park, Imagination Station, and a public lot off Ooltewah-Ringgold Road. Post-race, there are sponsor booths, a Kids' Zone with inflatables and a petting zoo, and a Toys for Tots collection on site.
