Staged outside Nissan Stadium along the East Bank of the Cumberland River, the course takes runners across the scenic Woodland Street Bridge and through downtown riverfront boulevards before returning for a stadium-side finish. Young runners can participate in the dedicated 1-Mile Kids Waddle, an untimed fun dash where each young participant receives a turkey-themed medal, commemorative bib, and souvenir holiday beanie. Families enjoy music, photo ops with Mr. Gobbles, warm apple cider, and festive donuts. The event also collects non-perishable food items and financial support for local food banks helping Middle Tennessee families in need. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Completely stroller-friendly along wide, paved city streets, stadium plazas, and smooth bridge sidewalks with easy curb cuts throughout. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Nissan Stadium perimeter facilities and event staging tents offer accessible family restrooms with baby-changing tables and shaded bench seating. • Age Suitability: All ages; the 1-Mile Kids Waddle is specially tailored for children ages 12 and under. • Sensory Tips: High-energy start line with upbeat holiday music and emcee announcements; peaceful riverfront gathering lawns are located just north of the stadium. ## Similar picks in Nashville - [Anytime Fitness Fairview 7th Annual Turkey Trot (5K and 1-Mile Fun Run)](https://grassyknees.com/nashville/activities/anytime-fitness-fairview-7th-annual-turkey-trot-5k-and-1-mile-fun-run--listing-88de7e1d23df323346079764) — Thu, Nov 26 · 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM · Fairview City Center · All ages · Paid · checked Oct 30.
