Travel

Close to Nashville attractions, but away from the late-night noise of Broadway, you’ll sleep well before race day. The on-site restaurant, bar, and outdoor terrace are great spots to wind down with fellow teammates and athletes.

During the registration process, you will be asked to identify if you will be running with a stroller. After answering yes, you will then be prompted to choose your pace range. Those who identify as a running pace will be allowed to start before the general race giving them a chance to safely and easily get to race pace.
