The 2026 Museum in Motion Dragon Run Presented by Michelin brings Corvette drivers into the heart of the Smoky Mountains for the kind of demanding, rewarding roads these cars were built to conquer. Participants take on the Tail of the Dragon and surrounding routes, experiencing tight technical sections, open sweepers, and sweeping overlooks that highlight the full capability of America’s Sports Car. This tour blends spirited driving with regional landmarks, curated stops, and time with fellow Corvette owners, creating an immersive road experience shaped by the terrain itself rather than a scripted tour.
