Moving for Mothers' Milk Bank of Tennessee

Lace up your running shoes for the inaugural Moving for Mothers' Milk Bank of Tennessee, taking place on November 7, 2026, in scenic Smyrna, TN. This inspiring event offers participants the choice of a certified 5K race or a spirited 1-Mile Kids' Fun Run, with 5K registrants enjoying complimentary entry into the shorter distance. The 5K course winds through the picturesque Sharp Springs Park, promising a beautiful backdrop for runners and walkers alike. Typical race day conditions in early November include comfortable highs around 63°F and lows near 34°F, with a low 14% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a memorable fall race.

What truly sets this event apart is its profound mission: supporting the Mothers' Milk Bank of Tennessee, a vital 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Every stride you take and every dollar raised directly contributes to providing safe, pasteurized donor human milk to the most vulnerable infants across the state. Funds generated help cover crucial expenses, from screening prospective breast milk donors and transporting life-saving milk, to advancing a compassionate care fund that eliminates cost as a barrier for families in need. This race is a unique opportunity to connect your passion for running with a powerful cause, making a tangible difference in the lives of medically fragile babies.

All participants will be rewarded with a commemorative T-shirt and a finisher medal, celebrating their achievement and their contribution to a new community tradition. Whether you're aiming for a personal best on the timed 5K course or enjoying a fun family outing, the Moving for Mothers' Milk Bank of Tennessee promises a heartwarming atmosphere and a chance to support a critical mission right in Sharp Springs Park.
