First Annual Evo Day hosted by Evo’s of the Dragon at the Tail of the Dragon
Join us on May 9, 2026 for the first annual Evo Day at the Tail of the Dragon. We will be meeting at 10am at the US 129 Hub. This event is hosted by Evos of the Dragon and is all about bringing the Evo community together to enjoy one of the most legendary roads in the world.
This event started with a small group of local East Tennessee Evo owners who live here and drive the Dragon regularly. For us this is not a destination road, it is our home road literally in our back yard. Many of us drive it thirty plus times a year, and we wanted to create an event where Evo owners from anywhere can come experience the Dragon alongside people who truly know it.
Around this time of year there is typically another Evo focused day on the Dragon, and that is totally fine. There is more than enough road and community for everyone, and more Evo days are never a bad thing. This event offers something different by giving you the opportunity to connect directly with locals who are here year round and are deeply familiar with the area.
This is not a show, not a competition, and not a profit based event. There is no cost to attend. It is simply Evo enthusiasts getting together to enjoy the Dragon responsibly, make new connections, and spend time with people who share the same passion.

Whether you are local or traveling in from out of state, you are more than welcome. Visiting drivers will benefit from meeting locals who know the road, the best times to drive, and the surrounding area.
For those traveling in and not local like us, we recommend staying around Maryville. This area gives you access to plenty of food options, fuel stations, and an easy drive to the Dragon.
If your car runs on ethanol, please plan ahead and bring what you need. The closest ethanol location we are aware of is off the Lovell Road exit in Knoxville. There is no ethanol available near the Dragon itself.
