Museum in Motion Dragon Run

Presented by Michelin

April 30th – May 3rd, 2023

Spring in the Smokies, Tail of the Dragon and Biltmore all combined in one great MiM tour! Once again we hit the road, leaving Bowling Green and heading East to run the famous TN-129, aka Tail of the Dragon. This year again, we will be staying at the beautiful Biltmore Inn on the Biltmore Estate grounds. The Monday Biltmore visit includes a specially arranged early morning photo op of the cars in front of the manor house followed by breakfast in the Biltmore Stable Café adjacent to the house. New friends will be made while enjoying one of the most beautiful areas of the country during the colorful spring season. GPS as well as two-way radios are highly recommended!
