St. Jude Rock 'n' Roll Running Series

Get ready to experience Music City on the run at the St. Jude Rock 'n' Roll Running Series in Nashville, TN, on April 25, 2026. This iconic event, celebrating over 25 years of "Bringing Fun to the Run®," offers exhilarating 10K and 5K courses that immerse you in the heart of Nashville's vibrant culture and historic landmarks. Runners will weave through downtown, passing Broadway's famous honky-tonks, the Schermerhorn Symphony, Music City Center, and the scenic Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park, all before a triumphant finish outside Nissan Stadium with the city skyline as your backdrop. While the course does feature some hills, adding a rewarding challenge, the energy of the city will propel you forward.

What truly sets this race apart is the unparalleled "party atmosphere" from start to finish. You'll find yourself "jampacked with authentically Nashville music at every turn," with live bands performing on over 20 stages along the course, coupled with enthusiastic cheer teams and well-stocked aid stations providing water and nourishment. This unique blend of running and entertainment creates an unforgettable experience, culminating in a lively Finish Line Festival complete with live music, DJs, and food trucks.

Participating in the St. Jude Rock 'n' Roll Running Series also supports a meaningful cause, as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is the official benefiting charity partner. Typical race day conditions in late April offer pleasant running weather, with historical highs around 75°F and lows around 52°F, and an 18% chance of precipitation, making for ideal conditions to enjoy this legendary tour of Music City.
