Lace-up your sneakers this Thanksgiving and join the community for the Music City Turkey Trot, Nashville’s original Thanksgiving Day running and walking event! Produced by Run Nash, this beloved annual tradition brings people together for fitness, fun, and a great cause.

What to Expect on Race Day

The event begins at the iconic Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans, and takes participants on a scenic journey through some of Nashville’s most recognizable areas, including a trip over the Gateway Bridge. Runners and walkers can choose between a 5K and a 1-mile option, making this event perfect for all fitness levels and ages.

For pet lovers, this year’s Turkey Trot features the Doggie Dash, a special event where participants can bring their furry friends along for the race. Canine companions will be celebrated with their medal, bib, and stylish doggie bandana—because four-legged athletes deserve recognition, too!

Supporting a Worthy Cause

The 2024 Music City Turkey Trot is proud to partner with Nurture the Next, a local charity that supports parents and communities in creating safe, loving environments for children. With a mission to nurture and uplift families, Nurture the Next provides in-home parenting support across 30 Tennessee counties and runs several statewide programs. By participating in the Turkey Trot, you’re not only getting active but also helping to make a meaningful difference in the lives of local families.
