The 2026 Wicked Wine Run Nashville invites runners and walkers to an unforgettable experience on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at the historic Andrew Jackson's Hermitage in Old Hickory, TN. This unique event, renowned for blending fitness with fun, offers participants a choice between a 5K run and a leisurely 1K Wine Sampling Walk. Typical race day conditions in mid-April feature comfortable highs around 71°F and lows near 48°F, with a modest 20% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for an afternoon of activity and enjoyment.
