What are the best Tennessee half marathons for beginners in 2025?
The Tennessee half marathons we recommend most frequently as the best for beginners are:
The St. Jude Rock ‘n’ Roll Nashville Half Marathon: Bigger is usually better for beginners. More crowds, more cheers, more aid stations. This one in particular is packed with Nashville live music at every turn and a course that takes runners through the iconic Nashville locations like Broadway, Music Row, The Gulch, and the n Music Hall of Fame.
Great Smoky Mountains Half Marathon: The Smoky Mountains are the most visited National Park in the United States. While this race is on an “open course,” meaning runners share the roads with cars, it’s a beautiful course with fun finisher experiences like a s’mores station.
Oak Barrel Half Marathon: A course through Moore County Tennessee the Jack Daniel’s Distillery. Not a course for a personal best, but a really fun experience with a Water Station Contest, Whiskey Hill, and grilled cheese and hoe cakes at the finish.
