Nashville Half Marathon

Course & Elevation

The Rock 'n' Roll Nashville Half Marathon is the half marathon of the St. Jude Rock 'n' Roll Nashville race weekend in Tennessee, part of the Rock 'n' Roll Running Series, and it is held on a Saturday in late April. The weekend began as the Country Music Marathon in 2000, and the half marathon was added in 2002. In 2016 the event took the name St. Jude Rock 'n' Roll Nashville. The half marathon starts at 8th and Broadway at 7:20 a.m., at the same time as the marathon, and finishes outside Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans, so the course is point to point. It passes the Broadway honky-tonks, Music Row, the Gulch, 12 South and Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park, then the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, Music City Center and the Musica roundabout before the stadium. The 5K and 10K start at 6:30 a.m. at 8th and Demonbreun, and the Doggie Dash, 1 Mile and KiDS ROCK are held the next day at Nissan Stadium. The half marathon has had a 4-hour time limit.
