Charity Mission:

The money raised will support the Middle Tennessee campus of Tennessee Children's Home and the programs provided. Children and youth, who otherwise would not have opportunities to learn about Christ, have educational services, and physical necessaries. We count on people like you to help provide this safe and secure environment. We hope that you will consider making an impact in this way, and that you understand how life changing your gift will be for children and youth who will be given opportunities because of your sponsorship and donation.

The course will be multi-surface, gravel, asphalt, and cement. Come enjoy a beautiful run through the hilly back roads of Maury County and Spring Hill. The race will start and finish at Spring Hill High School. 

Runners are responsible to know the route. Maps are listed above.

We do our best to hold our races to the highest quality standards, from start to finish, course design, accuracy, barriers, water stations and running course will be intently laid out for your safety. Safety is our main concern. Please note that although we’ll try our best to avoid it, the course and start time is subject to change.

Rules:

Half-Marathon has a 3.5-hour time limit.  (Course support will cease after 3.5 hours)

No dogs allowed.

Strollers welcome for the 5K and 1K. (Please Remember this course will be multi-surface, hilly, gravel, asphalt, and cement.)

Please note that a 15-minute mile pace or faster is required for both the 5k and Half Marathon race distances. A 15 min. mile pace is roughly four miles per hour, equivalent to a very brisk walk. If you fall below this pace, the race organizers can no longer guarantee course support. Aid Stations, medical support, portable toilets, and road closures will begin to become unavailable to participants. The local police and race organizers will ask you to reroute to a shorter version of the course or move up onto the sidewalk where you will be required to obey regular traffic laws.
