On Saturday, October 8, 2022 the Smyth County Chamber of Commerce hosted their annual Molly’s Knob Challenge. This is not an average 5K, as it hosts over 1,000 feet of elevation gain in the first 1.7 miles and runs a total distance of 3.4 miles. Runners came from various states to conquer Molly’s Knob Challenge. The runners and their times are posted below. Congratulations to all our challengers! We would also like to extend a special thank you to our event sponsor, Marion Outdoors!
