NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Saturday is the 13th annual Titans Foundation 5K at Nissan Stadium.
We talked to the second place runner — hear his story in the player above.
On Friday, people can park in Lot H and pick up their race packet at the Wesley Mortgage Club inside the stadium from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Day-of registration for the race Saturday morning ends at 6:30 a.m. and then the event starts at 7 a.m.
Those walking or running in the 5K will receive a commemorative t-shirt, a medal, and tickets to the Titans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars game in December!
Winners of the race will also get a football and a jersey.
Participants will run on the football field to cross the finish line at the 50-yard line.
After the race, there will be an awards ceremony and refreshments. People can also meet Titans Cheerleaders, Blue Crew, and T-Rac.
Lots H, G, and M will be open for complimentary race day parking.
The Titans Foundation 5K raises money for the team's ONE Community initiative, which focuses on supporting opportunities, neighborhoods, and education in Nashville.
The team partners with local organizations, mentors young people, and hosts charity events.
When youregister for the 5K, you are helping the team continue to give back.

I LOVE Forrest's stories on the history of NewsChannel 5 as we celebrate our 70th anniversary. Here's a story I wasn't familiar with until recently. Eudora Boxley had a live cooking show in the early days of the station. She may have been the first black on air at NewsChannel 5 and perhaps, one of the first African Americans to have a TV cooking show anywhere in the country. It wasn't until her grandson reached out to me that I even heard of Ms. Boxley. Thankfully, I was able to connect him with Forest to learn more about this great nugget in NewsChannel 5 history.
