Nashville is gearing up for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series! This unique race takes runners through some of Nashville’s most iconic neighborhoods if you’re doing one of the long races. But runners of all ages — and doggies, too — can participate in the series taking place in Nashville Saturday and Sunday, April 26 – 27. The annual event helps to raise funds for St. Jude — the only national cancer center dedicated solely to children.
Runs begin on Saturday, April 26 with both the 5K and 10K starting at 6:30 a.m. The Marathon and Half-Marathon start at 7:20 a.m, taking runners through some of Nashville’s most iconic neighborhoods, and wrapping up at the finish line at Nissan Stadium.
