The event begins at Nissan Stadium, home field of the NFL’s Tennessee Titans, and takes participants on a tour of some of the Music City’s famous sights and streets, and then winds up for the finish on the 50-yard line back at Titans Stadium, where all runners, walkers, and wheelchair participants alike get to see themselves cross the finish line on the stadium’s JumboTron.
In between the start and the finish, most of the race unfolds along the Music City Bikeway trail, which runs alongside the Cumberland River for all but the opening and closing miles of the race.
More than 1,200 runners crossed the finish line at the 2016 race, including more than 850 in the half marathon alone. The half marathon is limited to the first 1,200 entrants, so if you’re thinking of running this one — sign up early.
