Run On, Dolly. Run On.🏃♀️
Our hometown hero. Our mountain girl. Our inspiration. 💗
The world lost a legend, but here in Sevierville, we lost one of our own. Dolly Parton’s impact reaches far beyond music ~ she taught us to dream big, work hard, love deeply, give generously, and never be afraid to keep moving forward.
And somehow, these words feel like the perfect farewell from the Sevierville 9to5K family:
“Run, run and run some more…
Clear the premises before
The same ol’ problems pull you back again.
Run, run and just keep goin’…
‘Til you get to where your knowin’
You can rest, catch your breath
Know how it feels to win”
~ Dolly Parton, Run 2022
