NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A 5K scheduled at BNA will not happen this weekend due to severe weather expected on Saturday.
"Throughout the week, we have closely monitored the forecast, and while we are always prepared to race in the rain, Saturday’s expected conditions — including sustained winds exceeding 20 mph and a high risk of lightning — present serious safety concerns for participants, volunteers and staff," organizers said in a statement. "Safety remains our top priority, and this difficult decision was made out of an abundance of caution to protect everyone involved."
Participants have three options to choose from:
- Receive a refund
- Join a virtual run
- Donate their entry fee to the event’s beneficiaries — Musicians On Call, Nashville State Community College and Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee.
All registrants will receive an email with detailed instructions regarding these options

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
