St. Jude Rock 'n' Roll Running Series Nashville
When you choose the St. Jude Rock 'n' Roll Running Series Nashville, be prepared to be immersed in music culture. From the Honky Tonk Highway pumping live music into the streets, country artists each day at the expo as well as line dancing lessons, 25+ course bands, plus Encore Entertainment bands at the finish line, all will satisfy your love of music.
Starting at the home ice of the Nashville Predators, over 25,000 runners and St. Jude Heroes hit the streets for all the best sights of Music City. Runners pass numerous landmarks including Broadway Honky Tonks, Schermerhorn Symphony, The Country Hall of Fame, Music City Center, the Musica Roundabout, Music Row, the Gulch, 12 South and Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. The marathon course takes runners through Horizon Park's Nashville Sounds Baseball Club.
Runners will finish on Victory Way outside of Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans, with the fantastic Nashville city skyline within their view. You may also see one of your favorite artists like Sheryl Crow, Jana Kramer, Teri Clark, Kelly Pickler, TobyMac, Chuck Wicks, or Brian White running with you. And bring your cowboy hat and boots as they go well with the finisher medal.
