## About

Run Nash's Music City Turkey Trot starts and finishes at Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans, on Thanksgiving morning. Families choose between a 5K run/walk and a 1 Mile Waddle, the shorter option that works for young runners and walkers. Every participant gets a race bib, timing, a commemorative shirt and a finisher medal. The race is dog-friendly, so leashed four-legged family members can come along too. The event begins at 8 am on Thursday, November 26, and is billed by the organizer as a family fun way to kick off the holiday. Registration for each distance is online through Race Roster; packet pickup and schedule details are sent by the organizer.
